Media Training Tip: When You Don't Know The Answer

What happens if a reporter asks you a question during a live interview to which you don't know the answer? It's a common fear, but easier to deal with than you'd think.

Brad Phillips, president of Phillips Media Relations, provides you with an easy-to-use technique for never getting caught off guard by a question you don't know the answer to.

Thank you
Nutshell
The intention of the choice of wording is credibility of your social and media graphic identity

Either everyone knows I’m not the coolest
Or
I project and maintain structure that projects to the public I’m “the coolest” as I know externally separate I’m not the coolest


Overall meaning
Your “image “ in media is your “fame” you look good, take care of how you look,
Your manifested image of the public is scripted by you playing a “character” of yourself that is a civil projection of your goal and said experience fo goal

Means
Be fake and maintain your image and play your alter egos / back up your alter ego driven choices .
- I’m the coolest
- No your not
- Here’s one two and three trophies and 17 more do you need me to carry on.

Alter ego utility of information = media PR training strategizing, manifesting and incorporating into mainstream and cooperative communication.

Irony here is these kinds of answers actually make you look like you’re avoiding something which does damage your credibility.

It's a useful but dishonest, misleading technique. Why not say you don't know? Because it looks bad? Shouldn't people focus on arriving at the truth regardless of how good it looks?
