Gearing up for your next media interview? It's important to remember that everyone is going in with an agenda - even the reporter lined up to conduct the interview.
Are you the designated spokesperson for your firm's public relations efforts? You may be heading into an interview to build recognition, be seen as a thought leader, and attract assets.

Not sure what's on their agenda or what they're looking for?
