Media Tip 41
Media Tip 41: Never respond immediately to reporter calls on potentially negative stories—craft a response using all office resources and experts. Listen “between the lines” for potential details that could be strategically crucial. And never say, “No comment.”
This tip is from our booklet, Media Relations Tips: 102 Secrets for Finding Success in Public Relations. Practical tips for anyone who works with the media, works with someone who works with the media, or who works at an organization that is covered in the media.
