Almost everybody in the MA PR class at University of Westminster, Harrow Campus look forward for today when each group of about five-six will make presentation on Press Conference. Such practical experiences may be quite exciting considering the fact that members in each group are to dramatise the act of managing Press Conference from: preparation, venue, seating/standing arrangement, moderation and speech delivery and to the ultimate question session.
The major arguement from various discussions is: should a Press conference be extemporal or addressed through a prepared speech before questions and answers session?
The outcome of today’s presentation, with our professional guide from our tutors, Pam Michaela will give us further ideas on how to manage Press Conference and even if there is likelihood of presence of mischivious journalists in the audience who may distract panels’attention with frivolous questions.
I realise that a writing by a professional communicator and blogger, Jonathan Morrow on “7 Bad Habits of Writing” may likely be useful too for public speaking if we understand our target audience.
