Ehhh, "
No Comment". A deadly phrase used very frequently by prominent figures when approached by the media. See it might sound cool when said by a Hollywood star, although it will almost immediately make him or her subject to sensationalist writing of the much feared tabloid magz. With the likes of
Leornard Chuene, former ASA(Athletics South Africa) CEO, facing the boot after he displayed his unprofessional side during the conference of the Caster Semenya saga and not to mention the ever hyped up
JuJu who lost his patience with the BBC journalist. One would think that our politicians would know by now that somethings are best left unsaid as it leads to a huge
PR nightmare. As the journalist fill out the bare bones with flesh of assumptions.
It is important as a public figure, especially politicians to be cautious of how you act in in the public eye. the journalists have no sympathy for self-inflicted pain. In fact they pray that you say something stupid.And you will be stuck in a rut disconsolately licking your wounds. Losing your temper is a definite no no especially when you saliva production is at an all time high.
Hear are a few tips for our leaders:
- For heavens sake smile, YOU ARE ON CAMERA...ask a Jehovah's witness they'll show you how.
- Never Lose your temper, this Never ends well.
- Answer only the questions asked, do not volunteer information.
- And, lastly be Nice to the reporters...they can make or break your reputation.
