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