What do I do if I am approached by the media or reporters?
New challenges always accompany success. One such challenge, spurred by AMWAY’s phenomenal worldwide growth, is providing the media with accurate information about corporate and IBO activities.
AMWAY meetings that attract hundreds or thousands of IBOs and the constant stream of new developments at all levels make AMWAY especially interesting to news reporters. As this growth continues and AMWAY becomes ever more newsworthy, the likelihood of your being approached by the media for comment or an interview also increases.
That’s where AMWAY’s executive staff can help. Being abreast of current developments, corporate policy statements and vital statistics, they can help you respond accurately and effectively to the media with the information that reflects the commitment and the concerns of AMWAY.
To avoid inadvertently giving out inaccurate information or finding that you are a part of a larger story, you should refer all media requests to the Rules of Conduct Department, AMWAY of Australia & New Zealand.
A seemingly inconsequential remark made offhandedly during an interview could create embarrassment and/or unfavourable publicity later on. If in doubt, find out before the interview what information the reporter needs and then contact the Rules of Conduct Department at AMWAY of Australia & New Zealand for support.
