About

The media can be a powerful ally or a formidable foe for leaders. Journalists and emergency responders often find themselves side-by-side in the most challenging situations, from natural disasters to crisis management. But despite their proximity, the media can remain a mystery to many leaders. In this ‘Influence Me’ episode, I’m joined by Graham Metcalf, a seasoned journalist and corporate leader with over 40 years of experience in media relations, crisis communication, and strategic leadership. Back in the day, Graham was key in the development of media capability within emergency services. This guy knows his business, so any current emergency management practitioner will learn something about media and communications in the context of operations.
