It's every charity's nightmare. Something really bad has happened (perhaps a major GDPR breach or some kind of serious accusation of impropriety) and you've just learned the local press have got hold of the story.

What do you do?!

Whilst it's not possible to cover every eventuality or put your mind at ease in this eventuality, this episode looks at this scenario from the point of view of a seasoned reporter.

In this instance, we talk to Ed Stilliard, an experienced news journalist with nearly two decades' experience in print and online news media.

We talk to Ed about what any charity leader's first thoughts should be, how these scenarios may play out, what news reporters most likely will and won't want and what they can and can't do.

In this extended episode we look at everything from the precise meaning of being 'off the record' to understanding the motivation of the reporter who wants to tell the public all about your worst nightmare.

Whether you've faced this kind of situation or not, you simply can't afford to miss this episode!
