-Duration/type of interview (live, recorded etc.)
-Interviewer
I would prepare the RC with:
-Talking points to address questions
-Posture, body language, tone of voice

# data[].attributes.body
I would ask the producer about:

- potential questions
- Details on the interviewer
- Written, live, radio or recorded?
- Duration of the interview
- Time and audience

I would then prepare:
- Talking points from UN toolkit and within my organization - agreed with SG
- Tone of voice
- Best practices at the organization
- Any campaigns or projects that relate

# data[].attributes.body
Ask the producer about the expected time/length of the interview; ask when it will air; request a list of questions in advance; ask about the format; will there be any other interviewees?

The RC should stick only to prepared messaging and statements, express empathy for the victims, discuss efforts underway to prevent in the future; have information about the alleged perpeatrators (been placed on administrative leave)

# data[].attributes.body
To the producer:

I would enquire about the focus of the interview or interest area. I would
Confirm programme details, eg, time, duration, length, live or recored, guests invited, with audience or without.

I would ask for the  name of the journalist doing the interview so i may research the journalist's background.  This may help to predict how the interview go, whether is a difficult tough individual or not.

I would send out information on SEA and other materials, and build mutual respect by opening our communication channels.

To the RC: This is where abundance  of information and preparation is required.

1) I would provide background case information on the crisis and the
development of the investigation.
2) Possible questions during the interview that may come up
3) Background information on the media house and the journalist
4) information on SEA, facts of previous cases with the UN or other NGS, and the responds.
5) share key messaging  and talking points
6) The importance of highlighting the SGS messages, UN policies, UN Code of conduct and plans for Countering SEA
7) The message should be, there is ZERO tolerance on SEA and the UN takes any abuse by staff very seriously.
8) remind the RC about  Victim confidentiality.

The RC should anticipate difficult and unexpected questions from the media.  i will prepare a document on how to answer difficult questions and go through all the questions i think may come up in the interview.

Finally I would encourage the RC to be confident, calm, to use his media training, answer cleverly, to stick to discussing the UN stance on the issue and avoid getting personal.

# data[].attributes.body
Producer:
Confirm program details and format. Live or recorded? Audience? If anyone else is invited? Who will do the interview? Do they have facts and figures from the UN? Work on building a rapport if new to ensure there's mutual 'respect' on both sides.

RC:
Rehearse talking points, as well as difficult questions. Advise the RC to be completely truthful and not try to fend off any unexpected queries, but rather handle them truthfully. Appear relaxed, concerned, focused, but believable. Make sure all the information related to the case - and other similar ones - is available.

# data[].attributes.body
To producer:
·       Ask, if possible, to share the anticipated interview questions.

·       Ask about the timing and duration of the interview? About the crew? About the outcome of the interview? Which news anchor will undertake the interview? If any other person/organization will be interviewed on this matter?

·       Ask if the journalist has access to the UN’s SEA material as this will help frame the discussion and avoid unnecessary questions.

To RC:
·       Prepare a background note that includes the UN policies, networks, and plans for countering sexual exploitation and abuse. Ask the RC to stress that there are no exceptions to zero tolerance for sexual exploitation and abuse by UN personnel and implementing partners.

·       Ensure the RC uses the appropriate emotional tone and body language when conveying his/her messages.

·       Advise the RC to start with an opening statement that acknowledges the victims and to assure that investigation is underway.

·       Remind the RC NOT to share any personal details on the staff being investigated.

·       Remind the RC not to be defensive to the media’s questions. After all, their right and duty are to ask challenging and tough questions.

·       Stress that the UN has policies in place and regular awareness-raising training being held for UN Personnel and implementing partners, particularly humanitarian partners, to prevent sexual abuse and misconduct. Also mention that the UN has appropriate referral mechanisms that would help ensure no such cases of SEA would happen in the future.

·       Survivors and victims should be at the center of the RC messages, i.e. the RC must put the victims first in his/her messaging. The RC can highlight here the UN’s support to victims and survivors, with regards to providing immediate services such as legal aid, psychological support, maybe shelter and basic assistance, medical care etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Check with the producer on the format, length, time, the name of the interviewer and any other panelists, the focus of the interview, and to share areas of interest.

I would share talking points, key messages and some “if asked” Q&As. The background note should be shared and latest similar cases and responses, facts and figures on SEA, and be reminded of her media training and strategies like bridging. Check in with the RC on what her own questions are and if she’d like any additional background info. that we can source. She should highlight the SG's message. And be consistent in focusing media on next steps on the present case and the investigation taking place.

# data[].attributes.body
To producer:
- time and length of interview
- audience of the show
- which news anchor will conduct the interview
- who else will be interviewed on this topic
- provide latest press materials

To RC:
- brief her about the show
- run through possible questions
- train her on key messages, and do practice rehearsals

# data[].attributes.body
Questions to the Journalist:
- If possible, could they provide me with a list of questions which will you anticipate will be asked tomorrow?
- Does the journalist have access to all the latest resources and materials issued by the UN?
- How long will the interview be? and What will the setting be like during the interview, will it be filmed live? Who will be there? (This can effect the body language of the RC when the time comes)
- Ideally ask to visit the set ahead of time in order to ensure to develop familiarity

To the RC:
I would work with the RCO, UNCG, UNCT, in order to ensure delivering of a unified message, once talking points are developed, by sending out a memo and ensuring that all would be on the same page on this.

In preparation of the interview, I would go through the TPs with the RC, and run through the mock interview as a journalist, even setting it up with a camera to simulate the whole setting and how it would be.

# data[].attributes.body
To CNN
How long will be the interview?
Any particular topics related to the story would you like to raise?
Share with the producer the latest material (Press release etc) and ask her/him if she/he needs some other background info (UN policy, link to UN website where he/she can find former and current cases of SEA)

I will review with her a list of possible questions and go into the most difficult ones
I will train her to be able to deliver the Key messages during the interview even if no direct question are posed.
I will rehearse with her, and make sure that the body language is the right one a,d that she will be able to answer the most difficlut questions.

# data[].attributes.body
What questions would you ask the producer about the interview? What would be helpful to prepare the RC?
1. What angle are you thinking to focus on regarding this story?
2. What background information would you need from us.
3. Can we have the questions and in advance just to prepare the RC.
4. Have we worked together with the producer before?
5. Who is going to do the interview, where do they prefer and what time.
6. Have they done a similar story before of such a nature or any story by the UN.

# data[].attributes.body
Questions to the journalist:
1.     How long will the interview last?

2.     Who else will be interviewed alongside the RC?

3.     What are the key areas/topics of the interview?

4.     Is the interview going to be live or pre-recorded interview/physical or visual?

5.     Who is going to be the interviewer and what is their take on the situation/key message they want to advance?

For the RC:
I would advise her to stay on the message, express sincere empathy for the victims (put yourself mentally in the shoes of others), use bridges to guide the message to positive cases of what the UN has done for the country and train gestures and smile. I would also advise her to use "bridging" and seize this opportunity to promote the UN work in the country

# data[].attributes.body
First, I would like the producer about the possible questions that s/he prepared.

Second, I would like to prepare a talking points for the RC:
- framework/ethics/principles of UNs regarding to the subject;
- position of the UNs toward the sexual
- provide the RC the relevant updated information/fact of the case;
- update/current action taken and commitment to solve the case in the fair, unbias basis according to the laws, UNs rule and regulation.

# data[].attributes.body
I would seek to know how long the interview would be, who the interviewer would be, who else would be joining in the interview. I would also seek to understand the agenda of the agency to ensure it is in line with that of the UN and not out to fan and fuel the crisis further.

With regards to what the RC should say, I would advise her to stay on the message and UN code of conduct, express empathy for the victims, anticipate tough questions and use bridges to guide the message to what the UN has done in previous cases that have been proven and be clear on what can be used on the record and off the record, on the background and deep background. With regards to what the RC should avoid, I would advise that the RC should never lose temper despite the gravity of the matter, never patronize the journalist or antagonize them and assume that the audience does not know.

I would ask the producer to provide a list of questions or at least the scope of the interview, the setting, the interviewer and length of the interview.

The RC would be advised to keep calm and maintain her composure. She should not get defensive and express deep compassion with the victims. If possible, she should direct the conversation to the topic of the future prevention of such incidents and what steps will the UN make in order to avoid it in the future. She should also be very familiar with the past scandals in the UN and able to pin the differences.

# data[].attributes.body
Questions to ask the producer:

-Who is doing the interview?

-The format of the interview?

-What questions are they planning to ask, or the main focus of the interview?

-How long is the interview for?

-Is anyone else being interviewed for the segment and if so, who?

-I would also share if there are any areas that the RC will not address.

The RC should be prepped on the key messages, including any background on other similar UN cases and additional questions the journalist has shared, and be advised to stick to them as well as to be empathic and not aggressive or defensive.

# data[].attributes.body
Some of the questions for the producer: Who will conduct the interview? Are you approaching this story from any particular perspective? Who else are you interviewing?

To prepare the RC, beyond the fundamentals, run through an interview & play it back for analysis to identify the weak answers and to help discover where additional information is needed. If a reply is received to who is conducting the interview, some preparation for the RC to get used to the style of the interviewer would also be beneficial.

# data[].attributes.body
I would ask the producer the length, format, time and setting of the interview, the identity of the interviewer and any other panelists, the focus of the interview, and - if possible - to share a few questions.

I would advise the HC to make sure she covers the agreed talking points, but does not disregard the questions. It is important that she conveys respect to any concerns expressed by the interviewer and, when applicable, say that she shares them, but then convey trust in the UN mechanism that are supposed to reveal the truth and achieve accountability. She should also reiterate SG's message.

# data[].attributes.body
All information about the news producer, his/her attitude to similar occasions or UN agencies would be good to receive. In addition, the duration of the broadcast, will there be any other attendants or journalists during the broadcast?  Format of the air and the list of the questions which will be asked during the interview.

RC could be advised to stick to the facts, to the efforts to prevent similar incident in the future, to show empathy and support for the victims.

# data[].attributes.body
News Producer: who is the interviewer? What program? Alive or recorded? How long ? Who else will they interview for the story? Besides this, I would send the press release and warn about the things the spokesperson can or can´t answer.
Preparation of the RC: Give all the information received from the news producer, including a profile of the interviewer. Rehearse the interview with tough questions. Clear the RC agenda for the next day, so that the RC can be calm and well prepared. Prepare a clipping on the topic on the day of the interview. Stay with the RC during the interview.

# data[].attributes.body
Depending on the level of comfort/’friendship’ I would have with certain news producers and/or editors, I would probe on, to take back to the RC and help her prepare for the interview:

-       Are there specific slants of the issue, on top of the overall allegations, that the interviewer would like to focus on?

-       Have they [the journalists/media outlet] got hold of other sources/reference materials other than those already provided by the UN/my agency? ie, anything from the community/victims/survivors, or the country’s government agencies?

-       Who else have they been and will be speaking with – heads of other UN agencies, other levels (HQ-New York, etc)?

-       Is there a chance to perhaps have a look at an overall draft of questions, so I can prep the RC better with the facts to provide accordingly.

-       The basics: who is/are the interviewer/s, format, details of the setup, schedule, length, etc.

I would advise the RC to focus on:

-       Stick to the facts, and outline the current efforts being done both at an agency-level and at a broader UN-level.

-       Humanise the issue, and appeal to the humanity of the viewers.

-       Express remorse on the issue, and commit to follow through with the investigation.

-       Assure a fully transparent and objective process, and full accountability as end-goal; and remain open to being asked for updates by the press throughout the entire process.

-       Reinforce the agency’s (and the whole UN’s) commitment to the programmes being rolled out in the country; and that these shall continue no matter what.

-       Focus on the collaborative inter-agency (and One UN) approach.

-       Prior to the interview, make a quick check-in call with government counterparts, especially from ministries involved in the programme under which the allegations took place.

I would caution against:

-       Overtly deflecting blame.

-       Giving too much information; rather, keep it short and official, but not scrimp on details.

-       Pointing the blame to another UN agency, even if it has been proven, or when the allegations are more serious against them.

-       Naming concerned persons (victims, investigators, etc)

-       Asking for journalists’ source(s) of their reports as basis for their questions.

Who is the presenter for this interview (to try to prepare based on the previous interviews)
The format of this interview (Q&A, in live, on site or remote etc...)
Those informations can help us, customize the interview and guide the RC to a better appearance.

I will recommend she talks about the challenges the woman faces, as she is a woman. Also, she must show the commitment of the UN to end that kind of behaviour.

I will advise her not to minimize the issue or say we have to wait for more information because we don't know how to act.

She could not make a difference if the personnel were local or international.

I would ask the producer about the interviewer, anticipated areas of questioning, duration of interview, and all of the attendees for the segment.

I would advise the RC to take some deep breaths before the start of the interview. She should remember to pause before answering. And it is important for her to maintain a concerned and compassionate tone throughout the interview.

Discussion with the producer:-
I will discuss the content of the interview, probable thematic areas, topics and questions. I will ask the producer about the length of the interview, time slot, and anchor/interviewer and then brief the RC accordingly.

# data[].attributes.body
I would ask the producer for (at least tentative) list of questions the journalist will ask during the live interview.

I would then look into the previous interviews by this journalist to better understand her approach and style.

I would advise the RC to show compassion and empathy towards the victims, and to emphasize that, even if the allegations prove to be true, the majority of UN staff are decent, hard working people who are very much upset by the abuses committed by a few individuals. She should stress that those found guilty will be held accountable without delay. She should also emphasize the UN-wide "zero tolerance" policy towards SEA. And we should rehearse the interview beforehand, with me playing the journalist, to see how the RC would handle difficult and/or provocative questions.
