A Virtual Seminar brought to you by PR News
Communicating to the media and with the media is more challenging and essential than ever. From traditional reporters to citizen journalists, the bar is raised higher than ever in how you and your senior executives convey your key messages and monitor their effectiveness. Whether you’re a spokesperson for your organization or your client, or are responsible for media-training your top executives, you know how high the stakes are – and that the road to failure can be quick and painful in a 24/7 information cycle.
Join us on Thursday, June 7 for one of PR News’ most highly acclaimed webinars on Media Training, though with a new twist: recognizing the importance of your messaging in emerging media, this Webinar will also focus on media training for the Internet, the blogosphere and other new media platforms. We’ll show you how to conduct interviews with bloggers and other citizen journalists and how to measure your messaging across the wide spectrum of media platforms.
In just 90 minutes, you’ll learn the ropes on becoming a better spokesperson, on training your key executives to present themselves and their key messages to the media, and on what makes the media tick.
