Media and Public Relations

Utah Media Interviews

Routine Press and Media Interview Management: I have built press relations with reporters across the state for more than two decades, and have written hundreds of press releases, official statements, and media interview prep documents all the way back to my time as an intern in the Media Relations Office of Weber State University in 1995. Here are some samples:
Briefing Sheet: Media Interview Prep – BYU Radio
Commissioner Official Statement – Mexico Trade Issue
Guest Editorial: Fanning the Flames of Success in Utah’s Agriculture and Food Scene (published in Deseret News, July 16) – General platform of issues for commissioner
Guest Editorial: Circling the Wagons – That’s the Utah Way (stimulated numerous news stories and opportunities in radio, newspaper, TV)
Press Release: Agriculture Census Released
Press Release: Newcastle Disease Found in Utah County

Strategic: Have organized several efforts to assist government officials in learning best practices of interviewing and press relations:

  • Organized and participated in numerous formal and informal training on the basics of media interviews, crisis communication, and utilizing social media
  • Leveraged discount with PR firm to provide counties with expert support on an on-going or as-needed basis
  • Developed a public relations campaign that was well received by County Attorney leadership (however I left position before the program could be launched).
