How Not to Panic: Media Training for Library Staff

What do you do when a member of the media calls? Does it fill you with dread? Do you get nervous and unsure of what to say? Do you wish you could just make the call disappear? The media can be a great ally for helping to amplify your message, but it can also be intimidating when they call out of the blue for your reaction to a current event. This training will help bridge that gap so that you can effectively communicate with the media.
