Staying Professional in your Media Interview

Staying Professional in your Media Interview

In high-pressure media interviews, how you conduct yourself is just as important as what you say. No matter the situation, always be polite, courteous, and composed—even if you don’t agree with the interviewer.

Stay calm: Never lose your temper, even under tough questioning.

Be an active listener: Avoid interrupting the reporter unless absolutely necessary.

Exude confidence: Your tone, posture, and expressions should reflect authority and assurance.

Respect builds credibility. How you handle tough moments can define your message as much as your words do.
