Communicating effectively with the media is important to the success of many career schools. Perception is reality. How people perceive your presentation during a media interview will be the basis on which they will form their opinions. Their perception is not just what you said, but also how you said it and how you looked. This tutorial outlines the
key elements in doing media interviews.
