		<title>Media training for nonprofit organizations facing a crisis</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Being prepared for a crisis situation is important for any organization, but in the case of nonprofits, it can be particularly vital. That&#8217;s because nonprofits often have a constantly fluctuating staff, low budgets for handling emergencies, and a crisis situation is one of the few ways to get in front of the media. Training an [...]]]></description>

		<title>Billy Bob Thornton shuts down on CBC Radio</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I started to watch yesterday&#8217;s much talked about interview with Billy Bob Thornton and the Boxmasters on CBC Radio out of Toronto, I thought we were in for another Sigur Ros or Joaquin Phoenix stunt, when the interviewee simply clams up. Then, as host Jian Ghomeshi asked about Billy Bob&#8217;s musical influences growing up, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Obama&#8217;s double-edged Tonight Show gamble</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Being the first standing US president to appear on a TV talk show has its rewards and its dangers.  The danger came in the form of an inappropriate remark about the Special Oympics which drew immediate criticism.  The reward came in the form of a lengthy, often substantive interview worthy of the Newshour watched by [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bobby Jindal stays on message about substance over delivery</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Bobby Jindal quoted by Stephanie Grace one month before his badly-delivered response to President Obama&#8217;s speech to Congress on February 24, 2009: Jindal said that, in effect, the GOP should stop fretting over the identity of its next standard bearer. &#8220;We have to not worry about the messenger, &#8221; he said, &#8220;and start focusing on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Everyone&#8217;s an expert</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was blogging about the use of Skype to economically bring in anyone to a satellite interview. Then the question is, who do you bring in? Sadly, it&#8217;s being used right now to bring us yet another &#8220;voice of the people.&#8221; Instead of bringing in more and diverse experts, we&#8217;re Skyping anybody who&#8217;s got a [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Skype&#8217;s the limit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The television industry has, over the years, developed an intricate network of satellite feeds and other means to create what we&#8217;ve taken for granted over the last decade or so: the satellite interview or discussion. Now Skype and other internet video technologies are making that intricate network almost obsolete, overnight. Take a look at this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jeremy Paxman on good u-turns by interviewees</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A common tactic by interviewers is to find a quote from the past which contradicts what the person now says. Catching out someone making a u-turn is generally perceived as a &#8220;gotcha&#8221; moment, but I thought it was interesting that famed British TV interviewer Jeremy Paxman &#8211; known for some gotcha moments of his own [...]]]></description>

		<title>An amazing interview archive</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To borrow from an old expression &#8211; I wish I&#8217;d built that. I&#8217;m referring to Access Interviews, a site begun last year by British journalist Rob McGibbon, which aims to archive links to all types of media interviews anywhere on the web. And you&#8217;re invited to submit interviews for inclusion in the archive. The links [...]]]></description>

		<title>Putting the brakes on guests, Don Newman style</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Great bit on interviewers interrupting guests. Don Newman is a well-known Canadian political interviewer and recently on the comedy show The Rick Mercer Report, they did a parody commercial selling a DVD boxed set of Don Newman&#8217;s greatest political shutdowns.]]></description>

		<title>Under the magnifying glass of public life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My neighbour is running for city councillor and his wife was telling me about the first all-candidates meeting he attended. She was shocked at how little things get magnified when you&#8217;re in the public eye. For instance, while her husband was listening to other candidates, he was grimacing and frowning, and she realized how that [...]]]></description>
