How To Overcome Fear While Giving A Presentation
Whenever you talk to a reporter or a journalist you need to follow a golden rule- DO NOT BABBLE! It is important that the reporter with whom you are conversing believes in what you tell him. Be confident while you talk and even if you are lying make him believe you. Generate your credibility. Babbling can be a proof of the fact that you are either not confident or you are lying and in either of the situations you could turn out to be a mess.
Be confident
Confidence is the key to a better future and when journalists and reporters are involved believe me that is your only hope.

They are well aware of many ways by which they will try to hear a different response. Be firm with your response.
Show your true inspiration

Build an opinion of your own
It is important to formulate an opinion of your own to survive in the world. Many people portray an opinion in public but that is not what they think but something they heard others say. Your own opinion gives you a different identity from the crowd. Believe in what you feel and stay firm on. People having an opinion of their own are highly respected in the society and they form a good impression in the media as well.
Media is an integral part of the society. It is better to be in their good books rather than the bad books. Don’t change your ideologies or opinions to present yourself good in front of the media instead develop an efficient way of communication with them. Try to be media friendly but that does not mean that you have to let go of everything you have believed in your whole life.
