The Media Savvy Podcast - When interviews are interrupted by the publicist, what should you do?

Do publicists play a role in interviews, or should interviewees be expected to handle the entire interview by themselves?

In this episode of The Media Savvy Podcast, Mark Laudi weighs in on the recent interview of Mel Gibson by Fox News' Jesse Waters, which was abruptly ended by the publicist when Waters asked Gibson about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars.

What should interviewees do when they get a question they do not want to answer? Do they get their publicist to step in, answer it the best they can, or just walk out, like some notable interviewees have done in the past?

Listen to find out what media and communications mentor Mark Laudi thinks is the best way for you and your publicist to handle difficult interviews.
