Bill McGowan, Founder and CEO of Clarity Media Group, is a two-time
Emmy Award-winning correspondent who has reported over 700 nationally
televised stories. He has also anchored hundreds of hours of news
and information programming.
During his 25 years in television, he has conducted
hundreds of interviews with newsmakers, CEO’s, celebrities,
book authors and editors, attorneys, and famous athletes. Specializing
in everything from hard-hitting investigative reports to feature
lifestyle segments, his credits include ABC News 20/20; CBS
News 48 Hours, Public Eye with Bryant Gumbel, and Saturday Morning,
The Fox News Channel, Dow Jones Television; MSNBC; and Fox
Television’s A Current Affair and Good Day New
York. He has devised interviewing strategies for news figures
such as Connie Chung, Bryant Gumbel, Charlie Rose and Bill O’Reilly.
Bill now uses that experience to coach and train
on-air talent to exude more confidence and command on television.
Clients such as NBC News, ABC News, Fox News Channel and NY1 use
Mr. McGowan to improve the interviewing skills, live reporting and
teleprompter reading among their developing talent. Network news
programs also call upon him to revamp a show’s writing style,
and train the staff on how to execute this new on-air voice on a
consistent basis.
As a media coach, Bill trains corporate clients
in advance of their media appearances and publicity tours. He imparts
his knowledge of different shows and interviewers’ styles
and tactics to advise clients on what to expect during specific
appearances. This training is conducted either one-on-one or amidst
a group of professionals facing common challenges. The goal is to
share with the client the questions most likely to be asked and
the most effective responses.
Clarity Media Group clients include several of
the major book publishers, top-selling newsstand magazines, CEO’s,
network news reporters and anchors, celebrities, athletes, doctors
and lawyers.
