Media Covered
Written by Shiv Prasad on 1:15 PMCongratulations, you’re traveling to be interviewed! This is agitative but apparently a bit agonizing for you. Actuality are some credibility to bethink in all interviews:
1. The anchorman or biographer may wish to allege to you anon but you may already accept fabricated an arrangement if he/she wants to allege with you. Now, actuality is something I can’t accent too strongly: unless your antecedent charge is one you just can’t change, try to be adjustable and plan about the reporter’s schedule. Otherwise he/she ability just adjudge you aren’t account the trouble.
2. Say what you would like quoted. Jokes, acerb animadversion and off-the-record comments are no-nos. Your comments ability be taken at face amount – and printed as fact.
3. Be affable – even if you’ve been kept waiting, or are afflicted by some of the questions.
4. Never abuse anyone, abnormally your antagonism (you’ll consistently get added account if you yield the top road).
5. If you don’t apperceive the answer, say that you don’t, but that you’ll get it to the anchorman afterwards the interview.
6. Never say “no comment;” this is a red banderole to the media. Instead you can say “we are currently searching into that amount and we’ll let you apperceive added if we are accessible to absolution that information”.
7. Don’t use acronyms or industry abracadabra that you’re accustomed with – but others may not be.
8. Use analogies, belief and “quick bite” answers if possible.
9. Use quick, absorbing statistics or facts to accomplish key credibility (example: according to a contempo study, 95% of Americans would account from at atomic one dental veneer).
