    after PR training at my last job my policy on talking to reporters is identical to my policy on talking to cops I think Sonya's idea is an improvement, but it will not get past the fact that journos are selected for their ability to control interviews and have daily practicehttps://twitter.com/sonyaellenmann/status/1034854408259923968 …

    What on earth can be done to make the public trust journalists more? How about flipping the question: What can journalists do to be more trustworthy? I have a suggestion. Whenever possible, publish full audio, video, or text of interviews. (Redact any off-the-record portions.)

        unless you're a professional Media Appearer, a journalist is going to be able to portray you however they like in an interview. Agreeing to talk to one is like going camping in remote Alaska with a very large face-tattooed survivalist with filed teeth HOPE HE'S FRIENDLY

        it blows my mind how many executives and other VIPs (for lack of a less cringey term) haven't had media training

        Innnnteresting, I would not have guessed this Maybe execs are selected for overconfidence and for social acumen in very different circumstances and just assume their skills will transfer

        In the tech world, I think they also get used to talking to reporters when they're a tiny startup and don't bother to get formal training because the hands-on experience feels sufficient. (Different if your background is a bigco, I assume, especially if you were a VP or w/e)

        Talking to Techcrunch in the early days as a tech VP is very different from talking to the NYT. This is also part of the reason that tech people get so upset about big media coverage - they're used to unabashed cheering.

        True. I also think tech reporters' collective attitude toward the industry they covered has shifted toward being more adversarial over the past couple of years. (Both good and bad IMO — less credulousness is good, kneejerk hostility is not)

        It took me a while to realize this after leaving, but I think I'm too credulous and sympathetic by default to actually become a great reporter. Idk, maybe more skepticism could have been trained into me

        I think generally the hostility that some perceive from journalists comes from journalists being more credulous, being lied to, and having that skepticism grow as a result. I think it grows more depending on what you cover, when and how long.

        Covering local politics made me real skeptical real fast.

        And same ultimate justification: It doesn't work. Nobody ever gave a heartfelt interview that completely reversed the public's perception of them, but a lot of people have tried and just made things immeasurably worse.
