Tips! When the producer or journalist is contacting you the segment or story idea is already positioned within the format of the media outlet. You have no power to influence the media because they looking for this specific idea or slant. If what they want for the story or segment fits with your point of view, that's terrific and the media opportunity will work out for you. If you are not a good fit for the particular point of view they are looking, its best to just say no than to try to change the segment or story idea to be a better fit for you. Don't worry, if you are professional, the media will be back to use you the next time. If you are easy to work with, even better, as the media will surely be back with lots more.
Here is a rule never to break: Never cancel an appointment or segment you have agreed to in advance. That's right, you just cannot do this. Once you say yes to appearing as a guest on a segment, the entire supporting crew gets to work preparing and coordinating. All system go, you might say. If you suddenly cancel, a lot of people are affected and you put your media contact in peril. It was their job to secure the expert or guest and they have failed to do so. All in all, everyone gets in trouble including you. You have lost your credibility. So, say yes only when you mean yes. Never commit to a media opportunity and pull out as that will follow your publicity career.
Prepare your talking points in advance of your pre-interview or interview with the media. This way, you will appear to have command over your area of expertise and knowledgeable about the issue under discussion. You will avoid stumbling for thoughts or concepts. If the media doubts your ability or expertise in the pre-interview, they will not use you for the placement. They simply have no choice. Their job is to book top qualified experts and if you indicate you are not that, they have to move on. Everything you do is evaluated by the media with the thought in mind - is this book author or expert the perfect expert for the story or the segment? You can make the media contact confident in choosing YOU if you are ready and prepared to discuss the topic. Create at least five discussion points on the topic before you speak to the producer or journalist.
Make Sure The Media Has Your FAST Contact Info! Always provide the media with your contact info including your cell phone and fast contact info. As we mentioned, when the media moves, it moves fast. If you are actively seeking PR or are booked for a media opportunity already, keep yourself available and able to be reached immediately. If you give out your cell phone be sure it is working properly and also check your messages immediately so you don't miss a thing.
