Inside Track with Broc: Bob Lamm on In-House Counsel Talking to Media (8/1/13)

 

Bob Lamm

Bob Lamm is Chair of the Securities Law Committee for the Society of Corporate Secretaries

In this podcast, Bob provides his views on whether in-house lawyers should talk to the media - and if so, how to be prepared, including:

  • Should you talk to the media, and why?
  • What are the prerequisites for talking to the media (in general and within your organization)?
  • Can you prepare for a media interview, and how?
  • Are there differences between different types of media (i.e., print media vs. "live" media such as TV, radio or webcast)?
