Mort's book, “Anchored: A Journalist's Search for Truth”Quotables “I have a philosophy that if you run fast enough, old age can't catch you.” — @Mort Crim“Never have an ego or have arrogance about yourself because you never know when you're going to need help or the support of others in your community.” — @JasonMudd9“It's all about the story. History is made up of stories. We call journalists the people who write the first draft of history. But that hasn't changed — for all of the technological change, for all the proliferation of media — it's still about content.” — @Mort Crim“Become a good writer, and if you're a good writer, I can teach you how to stand in front of a camera. I can teach you how to hold the microphone. I can teach you how to be a broadcaster. But I can't teach you how to think, and I can't teach you how to write.” — @Mort Crim“Journalism is a profession that requires, first of all, a commitment to honesty and truth. But secondly, you need training. You need to have some understanding and experience in how to recognize a story, how to organize a story, how to tell a story in a way that is meaningful to the audience.” — @Mort Crim“PR needs to be all about the audience of the news outlet when you're pitching media.” — @JasonMudd9 If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with others, buy me a coffee, or leave us a quick podcast review.About Mort CrimMort Crim is a journalist, author, lecturer, and motivational speaker.

This week, host of Out of the Clouds Anne Muhlethaler is joined by journalist, media trainer and ex-broadcaster Martin Popplewell (@Martinpops). Anne had the occasion to work with Martin on a couple of projects, which landed her in the green room of the BBC Morning News a few years ago. However little did she know of his (very) early career in TV which landed him on a deserted island, on purpose it should be noted, and not on any show you may have heard of. They talk about his passion for journalism and politics, his experience of grilling PM David Cameron on gay rights and the state of the (mainstream) media today. Martin also is an experienced and savvy media trainer, he talks about why it's completely normal to have nerves before going live on TV and yes, we (civilians) should all get media trained if we are to engage with the mainstream media as it's often referred to today. A wide ranging, profound and fun conversation.
