MEDIA SEMINARS 2017 Global Media Summit | Together We Push Back the Darkness 23 Saturday, May 6, 2017 | 1:15pm - 2:30pm SURVIVING THE RIP TIDE OF CHANGE —Pecos 2 Presented by Carol Swain & Jonita Kumaraku Adapting to change in the media landscape is never easy. Hear how two women survive the tide of change in a turbulent anti-Christian environment. Carol Swain, a Law Professor at Vanderbilt University, has been a sought after media consultant for many years. As America’s opinions began to shift on issues like marriage, and even freedom of speech on collage campuses, Carol found herself in the midst of a professional firestorm. You will be encouraged to hear how God used the attacks and trials of the past few years to grow Carol’s platform to have more influence than ever before. Shifting culture, staff communication, and changing government regulations are difficult enough to navigate. But what if these factors come to bear on a broadcast organization all at once? Hear the real life story of media leader Jonita Kumaraku as she relates how her faith kept her grounded and broadcasting during a time of crisis that few could imagine. MAKE YOUR MEDIA INTERVIEWS GREAT AGAIN! —Pecos 3 Presented by Larry Ross & Kristin Cole Many media professionals with a great story find themselves fearful or less than confident in the face of media interviews, despite their good communication skills and strong story-telling ability. This Media Interview Training workshop by two seasoned PR counselors will focus on tools and techniques you can use in any interview situation. You will learn how to maximize exposure, establish your position, and project your message over the media narrative by approaching interviews as conversation rather than confrontation, and taking control of the interview by answering questions on your terms, not necessarily in the way they are asked.
