A couple of our Bank Officers are being interviewed on television. shocked

Is there any guidance anywhere that lists what could be said and what shouldn't be said?

Any advice as well?

Thanks

what shouldn't be said?

Refer to George Carlin??

If it is an interview and not an ad - they just answer the questions asked in an unbiased manner.

Bank policy here specifically lists who is permitted to speak to any media, whether television, newspaper, etc limited to a very few. I agree with Randy, answer the question succinctly, professionally and do not divulge any private bank business or personal opinions.

A smaller bank I was at had a media policy which was also in the Business Continuity.

It listed Pres/CEO, Chairman, Director of Marketing could speak to the media. There was also a caveat that local media (TV/Radio/Newspaper), could interview others as subject matter experts - i.e. mortgage loan officer discussing getting a mortgage loan, as long as it was in generalities, and not about bank products.

Thanks. Randy, we will make sure that neither of them say any of the "7" banned words.

Pulling people out of the ditc...
we, too, have a policy and any media contact is to be reported and vetted by marketing prior to a response being given by the bank. same with who is empowered to speak to them. care to guess how many times this is not followed by regional presidents or others in "leadership" roles?
