Learn when and how to address the media in this instructor-led online class. Continuing education credit available.

Students will learn the important role that building relationships with reporters plays in getting stories about their businesses publicized, as well as the techniques they should use when dealing with the media. Students will also learn  to understand reporters' deadlines and the varying focuses of certain trade publications and/or newspapers and broadcast media.

Students will:

  • Introduce themselves by telling the instructor and their classmates a little about themselves as well as what they hope to gain from taking this course.
  • Identify stories that they would like to publicize and will identify the risks involved with releasing their story ideas to the media. Students will identify which media outlets they would like to utilize.
  • Prepare themselves for answering the media's questions. After completing this lesson, students should not be caught off guard by any questions related to their story pitches.
