Course programme

Dealing with the Media in a Crisis

Course Content:
As mentioned, our crisis media courses are all specifically tailored. However as a guide, here's what we would cover in a typical session:

The Theory:

  • An introduction to the media in a crisis: Why should you talk to the media in a crisis / The difference a crisis makes for the media / The way journalists operate when covering a crisis story

  • Preparing your approach: Refining your key messages / Researching the audience and journalist / Setting your agenda / The Soundbite

  • During the interview: Bridging and other interview techniques / Body Language / Dos and Don'ts / Handling Press conferences

    The Interview Practice:
    The interviews we conduct in our crisis media training sessions are testing, realistic and relevant. This is to ensure that, whatever sort of interview situation delegates face in the outside world, they will be prepared. Depending on your requirements, we will conduct a series of one or more of the following interviews:
    Telephone / Face to Face / Down the line / Doorstep
