Media Training Blog
This is our take on current affairs and how executives, politicians, celebrities and others faired in media interviews. Did they get caught by a “gotcha” question? Or did they push back and stay on their message? There is a lot to be learned by examining how others respond to media questions or tackle a problem in the media spotlight. We hope you will follow us and share your opinions with us.
