The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) has created an online multimedia program entitled Guide to Talking to Reporters. It's seven minutes long, free, and very worthwhile. You can watch it right now on your computer.
Most people in aviation don't have a clue how to deal with a reporter who suddenly appears and wants their opinion about an aircraft incident or accident, or a story involving a local airport. Too often, people's comments are taken out of context, misunderstood, heavily edited, or poorly delivered in the first place. This program presents the basics on what to do and what not to do, for the good of the aviation community, when a reporter sticks a microphone in your face.
This program is highly recommended viewing for all General Aviation pilots and aircraft owners.
