MEDIA TRAINING

In today’s crowded digital media world, you must be able to effectively communicate a complete thought in six seconds or less.

MEDIA TRAINING

Don’t be fooled by those who have never worked in front of a camera. Real media trainers have “walked the walk”.

And tread carefully if hiring a media trainer who last worked in a TV newsroom in the 1970’s. A lot has changed and the news media continues to evolve.

Rich Dubek is a two-time Emmy winning TV reporter and is one of only a few media trainers worldwide actively working in television network news. Rich has a firm grasp of the inner workings of today’s digital news media and since 2008 he has helped his clients navigate a complex digital media and social media landscape. Over the years, Rich has perfected his media training workshops to help his clients improve their on-camera performance, appearance, messaging and soundbites, and ability to answer difficult questions.

Rich is now recognized as one of the top media trainers in the country and a reason why clients like the federal government, high profile political candidates, top advertising agencies and dozens of Fortune 500 companies utilize the media training services of the Dubek Media Group.
