Whether your goal is to leverage the media to reach a broader audience, enhance current marketing and communications efforts, or manage communications during a crisis, media training will empower you to do so with confidence and clarity.
By gaining insights into the workings of the media and the practices of journalists, you can effectively promote your agenda and reinforce your stance whilst adhering to your school’s media policies and protocols.
School leaders will have the opportunity to master the essentials of understanding and dealing with the media and ensuring that their experience with the media achieves their specific goals.
This comprehensive, full-day, in-person workshop is customised to meet the specific needs of participants. Attendees will be able to craft key messages based on their proposed scenarios. Each participant will also engage in a one-on-one media interview, followed by immediate feedback. The primary focus of the day is to develop practical skills that build confidence in media interactions.
