Increasingly many RDNs, rather than being the interviewees, are leading audio and/or video recorded interviews for their personal brands, company websites, blogs, and podcasts. Conducting a media interview with a guest expert takes skill and concentration to guide the interviewee to share the best information and insight within a specific time frame. Former CNN executive producer and correspondent, RDN Carolyn O’Neil, shares tips for successful interviewing from the other side of the mic.

The live version of this webinar was presented by Carolyn O’Neil, MS, RDN, LD,  on Wednesday, July 11, 2018, at 2pm ET. This recorded version is approved for 1 hour of continuing education credit. RDs should list code 175 for this activity type.
