Republican Presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann passed her first major media test with flying colors. She handled a pretty rude question from Chris Wallace during a Fox News Sunday television interview without even flinching.

As you can see in this video clip, Wallace brought up a number of mistatements or gaffs he said Bachmann had made and then asked, "Are you a flake?"

This is the latest in a series of posts about how to prepare and carry out a successful media interview. Part One is here and Part Two is here.

How do you spell opportunity? T-R-I-B-U-N-E.

The Chicago Tribune, the largest daily newspaper in Chicago, has been going through a redesign that reportedly will contain more pages and more news stories. Crain's Chicago Business reports the new look will debut June 15.

That's worth a headline all by itself, because the Tribune has been shrinking its paper over the last several years as it grapples with declining readership. The change is a reflection of new management as the company tries to emerge from bankruptcy.

So, this is an opportunity for anyone in media relations or public relations and for companies and organizations that have a story to tell. Your chances of getting covered by the Tribune just got a lot better. Are you ready to make the most of it?
