Speaking of Media ....with Keith Marnoch

Pandemic Protests & Leadership: Kym Geddes Coaches the Media Message

The global pandemic has seen a shift in established norms of communication, both through the channels and the messages we share. There is currently a particular focus on leadership both corporate and political; as we all navigate previously uncharted waters. We are at a place and time where many of the conventional constructs of mass communication are being challenged and - for better or worse - amplified. As a communicator - how ready are you to succeed in that environment? In this episode of ‘Speaking of Media’ - What Leaders need to think about when representing their stories and messages to the broader public. - And also - how will leadership guide organizations as we attempt to reach a state of endemic and start living with Covid in the years to come. Kym Geddes [https://www.kymgeddes.com/] is our guest. She was news Director at one of Canada‘s most listened-to radio news operations and she is now combining her past experience with a new venture - coaching leaders to communicate through the media - a perfect fit for this podcast. Note: this particular show was recorded in mid-February 2022 – when trucker protests were dominating the news headlines in Canada…. But the discussion’s themes hold up … including what are the approaches that need to continue within your media relations strategies and which ones need to be adjusted? …understanding that we’re in a new dynamic and fluid environment I hope you enjoy this conversation I had with someone who truly knows both sides of the media microphone.

Satellite Radio Possibilities: with SiriusXM's Sarah Burke

Satellite radio is often an overlooked media channel. In a world where individuals can subscribe to services that allow them to listen to their music and other programming independent of others … platforms like SiriusXM Canada [https://www.siriusxm.ca/] have to work harder to frame their entertainment offerings to be unique and attractive to their various niche channels. If you are trying to promote a property or story that has a niche audience – satellite radio might be worth investigating rather than overlooking. This media platform drew the attention of Sarah Burke [https://twitter.com/burketalks]. Her career has grown alongside the evolution of satellite radio. From Rocker DJ to digital music programmer, she moved over from various stints on traditional, terrestrial radio stations finding success in various local Canadian markets, before making the leap and flourishing in this still burgeoning media in Canada. Listening to her story of the limitations but also the opportunities that satellite presents offers an insight into what communicators might want to take advantage of within this largely untapped media platform. I love bringing attention to those who in their own right bring attention to minority voices and stories. Sarah’s Women in Media podcast is well worth a listen for that very reason. Her guests have included stories from women who need to be heard, as well as some who already have amazing platforms; like recording artist Jann Arden, national tv sports anchor Ivanka Osmak, and Canadian Olympian Alysha Newman, who all tell stories from obviously a female perspective … That said, whether you’re female or male, I suggest you give Sarah’s podcast a try.  You can also find Sarah on – and behind the scenes – at SiriusXM Canada as well as on her entertaining Twitter feed @BurkeTalks. Again, I hope you learned on this podcast something of value as a communicator from the career recollections – to date! – from this episode’s guest – Sarah Burke [https://twitter.com/burketalks].

TSN's James Duthie: Canada's Best Sports Post

In this episode, we go behind the desk that turned into a Sportcentre for James Duthie, TSN’s lead host and sports journalist. James’ work has earned him multiple awards including three Geminis, a Canadian Screen Award, and the Excellence in Sports Broadcasting Award from Sports Media Canada. Coincidentally I was working as a corporate communicator at TSN the day that James arrived at the network back in 1998 and was involved with promoting him as the so-called next big guy in tv sports and can fondly remember how well he dealt with being marketed as Canada’s lead sportscaster for the generation to come. No small challenge. I recently re-connected with James and we reflected on the current state of sports television by considering the future of the Olympics, soccer in Canada as well as sports media generally by re-visiting some of the fun times from an era when Canadian all-sports television was still sorting itself out. … and how he has flourished after 30 years in the business.  AND what he aspires to accomplish with still plenty of gas in his sports journalist tank. --- Please SUBSCRIBE to our podcast through Apple [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/speaking-of-media-with-keith-marnoch/id1549602278] or Amazon [https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/90afe276-761b-426c-8097-662cc363a384/speaking-of-media-with-keith-marnoch] OR wherever you download and listen to your favourite podcasts.

Leveraging Expert Commentary: with Carmi Levy, Technology Journalist

Is there a way for you to develop a channel or opportunities for you to be seen as a media go-to expert; or even better, a pundit who can legitimately comment and provoke a story or discussion – based on the news of day that can benefit your overall comms goals?? What is the value of expert commentary? … and is your organization poised to leverage someone from within your ranks to create this subtle but potentially high-profile form of brand journalism. In this episode we speak to Carmi Levy [https://twitter.com/carmilevy]… the London, Ontario-based Tech analyst and journalist who created an avenue to become just such a go-to technology expert. His approach and success are based on years of building solid and valuable relationships. However - the process he developed is one that can be replicated if it makes sense for your business … but AGAIN it does rely upon a great deal of relationship building. And speaking of that... I am so pleased I have a relationship with Carmi that led to his willingness to come on the podcast and share with you his insider approach to garnering this type of media coverage when we recently spoke recently via Zoom…. www.KEITHMARNOCH.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS-NIyvelhPwRFobcEJhtQw Visit SPEAKING OF MEDIA on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MediaSpeaking Join the SPEAKING OF MEDIA COMMUNICATOR'S DISCUSSION GROUP on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/419214615993269 See Speaking of Media on Instagram: @speakingofmedia https://www.instagram.com/speakingofmedia/ And join the conversation on Twitter at: https://twitter.com/MediaSpeaking Keith Marnoch is on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/keith-marnoch/ Intro / extro Music courtesy of : ~~Roa Music~~ ▶YouTube https://www.youtube.com/RoaMusic [https://www.youtube.com/RoaMusic] ▶Spotify https://open.spotify.com/artist/1ETpo...
