About This Quote

"If you can't survive a cross-examination from a lawyer on the subject, you won't survive an interview with a journalist or anchorperson." This is a quote from Linda Radke, President of Five Star Publications. The quote is in reference to the fact that people are often asked to describe themselves based on what they know best. If the person cannot handle being cross examined by his or her own lawyer, how are they going to handle being interviewed by someone who is not directly related to their work. The thought is that once the person gets in front of the camera, he or she will turn into another person instead of sticking to their own persona.
