In a crisis, journalists will hold the leader of an organisation accountable and expect statements and interviews from them. You can add 1:1 Crisis Media Spokesperson Training for your key spokesperson to any crisis management training package. This can include options to work with voice trainers, camera operators and radio producers approved by Cowiecom so you get the right expert support brought to you.
