If you're finding media training boring, I'd say you're dealing with the wrong media trainer. Since most spokespersons do go through training on a fairly regular basis, it is up to the trainer to keep the class up-to-date and interesting. Each class should seem more challenging that the last. If you think all you get is "more of the same," it's time to change media training firms. |

I'd have to agree with CrisisMan on this one. If your current training is conducting a boring class, get rid of them. Media training should be anything but boring. We've been using the same media training firm for many years and each time I go through the training, I find it just as interesting - if not more interesting - than the last time. I think our training just gets better each time, rather than boring. I've talked to some of my colleagues who've gone through the training a number of times, also, and they rate the class as the best training they've ever taken. I would have to say that part of the formula for keeping media training interesting is to work with the training firm and let them know what you're looking for and don't be afraid to suggest changes. But don't go overboard. Remember, you're still the student...not the trainer. If the trainer is any good, he or she will work with you. It's certainly not to their advantage to create a boring class. |

Some good info here, particularly Steve Wilson's take on costs and class size. I'm an Australian based media trainer with some 23 years experience and can attest that if you want serious news media training, the ability to handle a news or current affairs interview should be the basis of all good training. And that can only be offered by a journalist who's been there, done that. Don't be fooled by anything else and if you are serious about handling the news media, you have to go through some practice interviews, the more realistic the better. We have more useful information at our website, http://www.kelly.com.au/media-training/ and our blog http://www.kelly.com.au/blog-1/ Edited by kel397, Jun 17 2010, 02:19 AM.
