Media Training Tips and Tools

What does this have to do with media training?  Media Training goes beyond how to sit, act and talk.  If done well, it includes how to use the media to get what you want.  The steps include irresistible pitching, doing great interviews, driving audience attention somewhere, capitalizing on the attention and getting people to do what you want.  The ultimate goal is to achieve a desired outcome or result.
