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