This 1-day workshop is designed especially for chief and other senior executives. It is designed to make people feel more at ease and more in control when giving interviews to the news media. More generally, it is about the organisation they represent presenting a more polished image when 'on the air'.
The workshop is very practical and highly interactive. It is held in CN Radio Group's Citybeat studios, a working radio station where full use is made of the facilities available in order to ensure the workshop fairly well reflects the live situation. In the end it is about developing your technique and learning to hone your message so that you get across what it is you want to say -- in often unfamiliar, possibly intimidating surroundings, and to an audience that will not always be familiar with or understand the issues or the background that give rise to them.
Mike Philpott and Ray Hayden...
The workshop will be led by two very experienced presenters, Mike Philpott and Ray Hayden, who have extensive knowledge and experience in the newspaper, radio and television industries-locally, nationally and internationally. Mike and Ray will provide coaching in interview techniques with the aim of making participants feel more at ease in front of the camera or microphone. Those attending are asked to think of some work-based issue on which to rehearse an interview. Everything is kept strictly confidential. The presenters will also give those involved a feel for the industry, its mores and what makes a story newsworthy.
