Share the data, anecdote, statement
News never stops
No one can tell your story like you
Never repeat the negative
Blocking: defending
Enter the interview knowing what you want to say
Journalists just want a good quote or two from you
Bridging: transitioning
Tell the story you want to tell
Avoid saying anything you don’t want to see in print
Flagging: highlighting
Be personable. Be interesting
Speak to your target audience
Anecdotes really make your points memorable
Never talk about a client without written permission
Prepare 3 messages plus a kicker quote
Don’t feel pressure to answer every question
Be a bit edgy or counterintuitive
Simplify it, rephrase it, share a practical application
People remember how you made them feel
Sound prepared yet natural
Think: whose lucky day is it to speak with me
Share a message, then stop
If a reporter contacts you, don’t just start answering their questions
