PRAISE
"This is an accessible and engaging read - giving real insight into some of the most interesting media operators around. Having interviewed one or two of them myself I can vouch for its authenticity." Jo Matthews - Senior Lecturer, The Centre for Broadcasting & Journalism, Nottingham Trent University "An invaluable guide, full of insights." Martin Kelner - Columnist, The Guardian "If you have any interest at all in understanding how the media works from the inside - it's all here... from near perfect MediaMasters to embarrassing faux pax to spectacular recoveries. This book strips away the nonsense and shows you how to really get the most from media moments... courtesy of those who know. Why was this book not around before?" Paul du Toit, Certified Speaking Professional and former President of the Professional Speakers Association of South Africa "Full of great advice on handling the media from those who've been there and done the soundbite." Pete May - Lecturer at the London College of Communication and author of "There's a Hippo in My Cistern" "My advice to all business owners is to forget what the many PR consultants tell you to do, MediaMasters has loads of practical gems on how to prepare for a media interview. These come from the real world trenches, not a weekend media course. I particularly liked the non-showbiz approaches of Tim Brabants and Iain Dale."
