Avoid rocking, swaying or moving around during a TV interview. This will help keep the audio recording levels consistent and keep you in focus on camera. These are extra camera shots and angles used to edit stories together. Act naturally during the cutaway taping, but always be aware that the microphone may still be recording your comments. After the interview Don't expect an opportunity to preview a story before it appears.
Journalists shun that idea.
Instead, listen carefully during the interview. If you are unsure about whether the reporter understood your main points, ask him or her a few questions and clarify if necessary. If you have concerns about the reporter accurately conveying your statements, contact the media relations director. If you note an error in the story or are unhappy with it, call the media relations director to clarify the point. You have several avenues to share your news on campus other than mass communication directed by the Office of Media Relations.
