“We in the media are only as good as the stories we have to tell,” said Gradison of ABC News. “In a sea of information, the pieces with the most compelling characters and the strongest elements will always rise above the rest. If you understand what we do and how we do it this will help you tell your story.”
While it is important to ensure executives look good on camera and sound knowledgeable fielding questions, ultimately, their appearance can either positively or negatively affect the brand. But how exactly can one convey the importance of carving time out of their busy schedules to plan ahead for an interview? What are the elements of great sound bites?
