09.01.2022 How to handle media interview requests like a boss.. This is Peter Rockliff, the skipper who called for help after his deckhand went missing while fishing off Double Island Point this week. With fears he'd fallen overboard there was naturally a massive air and sea search. Turns out the deckie was hiding in a tiny compartment on board the whole time. ... Now instead of the 'no comment' response he could have made, Peter spoke to the news crews and showed them around his boat. He talked about his initial fear for his deckhand, his worries and own anger of the wasted resources. It's a great example of how to take ownership of the story, ensuring your message is heard. Silence isn't always golden.

If you’re an expert in any of these topics you’re in pole position to be an authoritative voice in these s...tories.

05.01.2022 For regional newsrooms with Monday to Friday bulletins (television and radio), you’ll need to give extra notice of weekend events.
