What's your biggest challenge in media relations? And honestly, I think it's a challenge we all face at some point, finding that balance between being authentic and managing the narrative effectively. Media relations can feel overwhelming, especially when the stakes are high. It's easy to worry about saying the right thing or representing your brand perfectly.
