Course Overview

Silence during a crisis involving live television interview preparation is itself a statement. Internal audiences learn about interview preparation from the news unless you reach them first. Where this strand of communications and media practice is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with live television interview preparation. Progress on the communications and media practice capability is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of interview preparation and supervised application. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what live television interview preparation has actually achieved. It treats interview preparation as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to the communications and media practice discipline that would make a visible difference.
