About Me.
As a former network news correspondent and media relations executive, I offer my clients exceptional communications expertise.
As a long-time correspondent for ABC News, PBS NewsHour, and Al Jazeera America, I have had the privilege of standing in front of television cameras to tell other people’s stories and explain complex subjects in an understandable and impactful way. I am thrilled to use the skills, honed under network news deadlines, to help others understand and get comfortable with media. I am also experienced in public relations, having served as the Assistant Vice President for Communications and Media at American University in Washington, D.C. I handled media outreach and crisis communications along with media preparation and coaching for the university president. I bring a curious mind and a comfortable style to all my work, whether media training, moderating, emceeing or helping organizations develop messaging and media strategy.
Why Lisa Stark Communications?
If you’re looking for someone who has succeeded at the highest level of network news and understands media and today’s unforgiving media environment, someone who knows how to research topics to tackle and unravel any subject, someone whose style is collegial, welcoming, and dynamic, then you’re in the right place.
I’ve worked with individuals, non-profits, trade associations, government agencies, and corporations. I’ve media-trained individuals and executives who are preparing for major press announcements, or those who just want to be confident the next time the media comes calling. I’ve moderated and emceed panels and conferences domestically and internationally, on subjects ranging from aviation and global warming, to the state of the U.S. economy. I’ve helped clients develop messaging and videos. Having worked as both a journalist and a communications manager, I understand both sides of the coin and can provide my clients with the professional, precise, and personal attention they’re looking for.
