“I very much appreciated such a seasoned television journalist taking the time to offer me advice. I came to the session with almost no previous on-air experience and Jim Paymar was patient with me, providing his perspective in a way that was encouraging and constructive. The session helped change the way I look at television news and how my colleagues make a mark on the air. I would heartily recommend Clarity Media Group’s service and Jim in particular.”
