The Advanced Television Training Course creates an atmosphere of intense pressure. Participants will be prepared to face the media in difficult situations. The course is led by a high profile, experienced investigative journalist in addition to MTI course trainers. All major interview styles are covered during the day: face-to-face / down-the-line* / door-stepping** / press conference.

The training day progresses using a realistic incident scenario:

* Down-the-line: a common form of interview used by the television networks, which involves an interviewee being in one location with only the means of an earpiece and a camera as contact with his/her interviewer, who could be on the other side of the world.

** Door-stepping: the re-creation of a scenario where the media arrive at the front door of the office or the home of a company executive. Participants further strengthen presentational and message transference skills through exposure to this high intensity environment. The final objective of the course is to provide the confidence to deal with a hostile interview, ultimately contributing to providing fair and balanced reporting with the aim of protecting the company’s reputation.
