Contrary to other media courses, we focus on media liability, not media relations.  Courts could care less about your relations with the media, they want to know if you followed current case law and statutes. Media interviews are like walking through a minefield - one wrong step and you could face a costly lawsuit and have a public relations nightmare. In my Five Media Interview Mistakes That Can Destroy Your Career seminar, I speak from experience as a communications attorney and television anchor. This seminar addresses what you are up against and what your risks are as a media spokesperson.

You'll learn ...

•  New laws on libel and opinions.
•  How to avoid misquotes
•  Controlling all aggressive and non-aggressive interviews
•  New laws on "off-the-record" remarks.
•  New privacy laws
•  New court rulings on shield laws
•  Changes in media access laws.
•  Liability of wireless access with the news media
•  How to handle workplace and Internet interviews.
•  Avoiding liability form e-mailing reporters
•  New liabilities on Web-based news releases
