Media training is one of the most popular courses we run at Pink Elephant.

Why?

Well, let’s imagine you sit down for a job interview.

You’ve prepared but it’s still nerve-wracking, and you know there’s a lot at stake.

Now, let’s pretend you’ve suddenly found out this interview will be filmed.

You’ll be grilled by a journalist, rather than a line manager.

Oh, and it’ll then be replayed to thousands, perhaps millions, of people.

Are those nerves starting to skyrocket?

It’s a daunting task for anyone, even seasoned professionals.

But with preparation and practice, we can be prepared for anything.

How media training works

When you join us for media training, we’ll start by sharing our theory.

Our five Golden Rules of Communication are proven to help you through even the toughest of interviews.

From Paxman, to Kuenssberg, we’ve got you covered.

But what is theory without practice?

How can you know you’ll be able to stand up to the test without first being tested?

So, we’ll sit you down in front of real journalists.

People who have worked in the print and broadcast industry for decades.

They’ll grill you just like they did to politicians and CEOs throughout their journalistic careers.

The goal here is to ensure that you have a realistic media experience.

Because what’s the point in doing media training without a journalist?

They’ll be able to tell you what quote would be used or how a headline would read.

Of course, we’ll throw a few curve balls along the way because it’s the news after all.

Time for feedback

At the end of the day, after thorough feedback and analysis, we aim to send you away more confident than you came in.

Our team is fully versed in all things media so we can look at tailoring the day to suit you.

We’ll spend time looking at the issues presented by the time and share our expert guidance.

And, we promise to have fun while we’re doing it.

So, now we’ve answered your question about why media training is so popular: answer ours.

When are you getting in touch?

The news agenda is constantly changing and we’d hate to see you left behind.
