Ever wondered what it takes to interpret for the media? Learn practical insights into navigating the unique challenges of media interpreting and working with a variety of outlets.
Interpreting for the media is fast-paced, unpredictable, and unlike many other interpreting settings. Drawing on her experience with different media organizations, Carola will provide a behind-the-scenes look at this specialized field. Attendees will explore what it’s like to work rotating shifts, respond to breaking news, and prepare for high-profile events such as award ceremonies, presidential debates, and major events coverage.
Rather than presenting a one-size-fits-all model, this webinar offers one interpreter’s perspective on the realities of media interpreting, the skills that have proven essential, and the strategies Carola has developed to prepare for assignments with little or no advance notice. Attendees will leave with practical ideas they can adapt to their own professional practice, whether or not they plan to pursue work in the media.
You will learn how to:
- Identify the skills and mindset that contribute to success in fast-paced, high-pressure interpreting settings.
- Apply practical strategies for conducting efficient research and preparing for breaking news and other time-sensitive assignments.
- Adapt to the unique demands of media interpreting, including shifting priorities, unexpected developments, and assignments with little or no advance notice.
