Flag Media provides practical advice drawing on more than 40 years' experience in journalism of its founder, as well as almost 30 years as an independent media business.

We help organisations and individuals understand how journalists think and operate, how to prepare for media attention and how to deal with situations where the response may not be as expected or immediately obvious.

Media Training

Media training helps people understand how journalists recognise stories, what makes information usable and how to handle media interviews effectively.

Sessions can be tailored to the organisation and the people involved, from preparing for a particular interview to dealing with difficult questions or unexpected lines of enquiry. The emphasis is on practical preparation and understanding how coverage develops.

Consultancy

Sometimes an organisation simply needs a second view before saying something publicly.

Consultancy looks at a specific situation, announcement or concern and considers how it is likely to be approached editorially. This allows adjustments to be made before attention arrives rather than afterwards. It can highlight opportunities or identify potential risks.

It can also involve reviewing past coverage and suggesting practical ways to improve future interaction.
