For press and PR people, heads of departments/services and senior managers who already have a good understanding of the interview process – in particular the importance of identifying key messages and “selling” those messages through techniques such as repetition. The workshop will build on existing skills and benefit anybody who may have to represent their organisation in times of emergency and/or crisis. Participants are likely to have been interviewed many times before on radio and by the print media but perhaps have less experience in front of camera.
CONTENT
The workshop is highly practical and will give participants a chance to develop the skills they already have and learn new ones that are relevant not only to emergencies but also to everyday working life. The workshop is centered on a fictional but highly plausible scenario which develops from an innocent-sounding initial report through to a full-scale incident. This scenario forms the basis for a series of challenging interviews ranging in style and duration. The interviews are likely to include:
These interviews will bring out a number of important learning points including:
SCENARIOS
