Media Interview Skills are what many people would like to build. They go seeking advice in books or from experts like me. When I began this journey I found a few troubling things. One was that many experts delivered advice and told people it could be used in any interview.
A taped interview is not the same as a live morning show interview. An hour, live newstalk radio interview is not the same as a 3 minute morning drive-time interview. A USA Today print interview will not be the same as talking to your local town’s paper. There are different techniques and strategies. Lumping everything together so people can have a one size fits all set of techniques is not helpful for those seeking good advice.
If there is a specific type of interview that I haven’t recorded a video for, let me know. I will give my advice.

Media Interview ROI, Return on Investment.
First off, what is the investment? The biggest investment is your time. Think about how much time you spend thinking about the interview prior. Think about how much time you spend getting to and from the interview (if there’s travel involved) and think about the time of the interview its self. If you put this much time into anything else in your life, wouldn’t you want a quantifiable return?
Secondly, how can you create the ROI? The answer is in planing seeds and keeping a keen eye on sales.
