Personal Appearance on Television
Anyone invited to appear on television in a talk show or for an interview should prepare for the occasion. The beaming red light of a television camera aimed at a guest, indicating that he or she is on the air, can have a terrifying effect on an inexperienced performer.
Public relations practitioners can help their clients avoid this unpleasantness by coaching them in what to say and how to behave. Answers to anticipated questions may be worked out and polished during a mock interview in which the practitioner plays the role of broadcaster. Guests should answer questions and make statements precisely and briefly. Responses should be kept to 30 seconds or less, because seconds count on the air.
Professional coaches who prepare guests for television appearances make these suggestions for their personal conduct:
•Use of gestures. The guest should create movement for the camera, even though seated, by changing facial expressions and by moving the hands, arms, head, and shoulders to emphasize points. Potential guests can observe these tricks by watching professional actors on talk shows.
•Use of eye contact. The guest should look at the interviewer, as in a private conversation. If the camera is focused directly at the guest, he or she should talk to it. The trick is to think of the camera eye not as an electronic device but as another person whom the speaker is trying to inform or convince.

•Proper placement of the body. Persons being interviewed should not cross their legs; the position is awkward. It is better to seat with one foot in front of the other. Leaning forward
in the chair makes a person appear more aggressive.
In an interview, the person being questioned should say something that will inform and entertain the audience. The practitioner should prepare the interviewee to meet this need. An adroit interviewer attempts to develop a theme in the conversation – to draw out comments that make a discernible point to illuminate the character of the person being interviewed.
In setting up an interview, the public relations person should obtain from the interviewer and understanding as to its purpose. Armed with this information, the practitioner can assemble facts and data for the client to use in the discussion. The practitioner can also aid the client by providing tips about the interviewer’s style.
All too often, the hosts on talk shows know little about their guests for the day’s broadcast. The public relations adviser can overcome this difficulty by sending the host in advance a factsheet summarizing the important information.

Say whether the statement is true or false:
1.A public relations professional should rehearse an interview with his or her client.
2.When appearing on a television talk show, it is a good rule to never look directly at the camera.
3.To show that you are ready to answer the interviewer’s questions it is best to lean forward in a chair.
4.A good public relations practitioner will prepare an interview in a way that will show his or her client in a favorable light.
5.A public relations professional should send some important information about the person invited to a talk show in advance.

Notes find
Find can be followed by an object together with an object complement, which is often an adjective or a noun phrase:
I find her attitude strange.
Find can also be followed by object + infinitive, but it is possible to drop the infinitive before adjectives:
We found her very helpful.
When the object of a verb is a clause, infinitive structure or –ing structure, and there is an object complement, it is common to use it as a preparatory object:
I found it interesting being back at school again.

Still Images
Slides, filmstrips, and transparencies often are referred to as audiovisual aids. Inclusion of such visual aids in programs stimulates audiences. Besides, audiovisual aids are much cheaper than motion pictures and videotapes, and have simple projection requirements. A presentation of still images accompanied by live or recorded narration often is the most efficient method for bringing a message to a small audience.
Slide shows
A slide show should be built on a well-defined theme to tell a story and deliver a message. The script should be written and approved first, then the visual elements should be developed to illustrate and emphasize points in the script. The standard technique is for a visually oriented person to study the script, marking places in it that lend themselves to illustration by photograph or drawing. An artist then creates rough storyboards, indicating the illustration perceived for each point. Photographer and artist go to work, producing 35-millimeter slides that meet the requirement of the storyboards.

Depending on its purpose, a slide show might consist of photographs or it might be made entirely with drawings and explanatory text slides. A combination of photographs, drawings, and text also can be effective.
Text-only slides often help to give a presentation cohesion and to emphasize key points. The content of each slide should be brief, making a single clear statement in a maximum of 25 words, preferably fewer. Color slides containing text and/or drawings need strong contrast, usually a dark background of blue, black, or brown with letters and pictures in white or yellow.
Overhead Transparencies
A simple, economical form of audiovisual aid is a sheet of transparent acetate or similar material on which illustrations and/or lettering have been placed. Overhead transparencies are especially good in classrooms and small discussion groups because of their flexibility. Masking a transparency permits a speaker to show several steps in a process with only one transparency. Besides, the speaker can draw or write on a transparency while it is being displayed on the screen.
Still Photography
A story in the print media, especially newspapers and magazines, may, and frequently should, be told in pictures as well as words. Still photography is an essential tool for every practitioner who works with publications.
Newspaper editors like to receive photographs of persons mentioned in news releases. The presence of a photograph with a release sometimes increases the likelihood that the story will be published. A type of photo most easily placed in a newspaper by a practitioner is the head-and- shoulders portrait of a client. These portraits, known as mug shots, frequently are published in onecolumn or half-column size to illustrate textual material.
Publicity shots may be submitted by the practitioner, or arrangements may be made with an editor for a staff photographer to handle the assignment. When shooting a publicity shot, a clever photographer will include, if possible, a prop that helps to carry the message. A picture promoting Red Cross blood drive, for example, would be strengthened by inclusion of a Red Cross poster or similar symbol.
Magazine requirements resemble those of newspapers, although emphasis is primarily on feature photographs. When sending a proposal for a feature story about a client, the practitioner should offer to provide photographs to accompany the text. In addition to submitting pictures to the media, representatives often find it effective to send souvenir prints of these pictures to persons appearing in them and to important persons such as dealers and customers. Such small gestures have a flattering effect.
