Reporter's Roundup shows you exactly what to expect. Our experienced media trainers - all former journalists - interview you over the telephone just like a real reporter would. Then we write a news article based on the conversation. You can see a sample Reporter's Roundup here.

You receive your article by fax or e-mail within 90 minutes. It highlights the tricks and traps you step into. For instance, did the reporter manage to plant words in your mouth leading you to say things you never imagined you could utter? Did your voice give away the fact that you were nervous? Did your message come across loud and clear, or did the reporter succeed in getting you off track?

Reporter's Roundup gives you these valuable skills:

• Learn what it takes to get a positive article in the national press, your local newspaper, or a key trade journal
• Improve your performance during media interviews
• Discover how you can guide the conversation when you talk with reporters

That's not all. We consult with you right after you read your article, and give you immediate feedback and concrete strategies designed to improve your performance. Our trainers understand the rules of the newsroom. And we know how reporters think.

You can take advantage of Reporter's Roundup by itself or as part of your Barks media training workshop.
