Media Training: One Size Does Not Fit All

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.
