Are you tasked with being the face of your organization's public message but unsure if you have all the right tools? This engaging, two-day course is designed for public information officers and leaders who oversee public messaging but are looking to build a guiding strategy. This interactive course is taught by Julie Parker, a former Emmy-award winning TV anchor/reporter who led the media relations division at two of the nation's largest police departments. We'll help you master the art of crafting messages, whether it's sharing good news or managing a crisis. From social media posts to news conferences, we'll cover the broad spectrum of public messaging as we combine theory, case studies, and practical exercises in a low pressure, adult-learning format. You'll leave with a strategic roadmap for success. Training topics include:
· Legal Considerations for Government PIOs
· Recognizing Good News Stories That Resonate
· Run It Like a Newsroom: A PIO Strategy
· Messaging in Real Time through Social Media (with case study)
· Media Relations from News Releases to News Conferences
· On-Camera: Mock News Conference Practical Exercise
The course capstone, mock news conferences, allows you to practice handling the tough questions under the stress of the lights in a safe, risk-free environment, with valuable feedback provided by experienced PIOs.
Effective public communication has never been more complex or more important. Obtain time-tested tools to communicate through the good news and the inevitable critical incidents by a communications instructor highly experienced in managing the message. Don't miss this opportunity to elevate your communication skills and make an impact for your organization.
