WARREN – Shawne Duperon is leading what she calls a “media mastery bootcamp,” a two-day session designed to make her “boots” comfortable when dealing with reporters ? or with any other occasion where they have to answer questions in public.

Duperon knows her subject well because she is a six-time EMMY award-winning television veteran with experience on-camera and behind the scenes as a producer. She?s also an active speaker, talking with groups around the world and headed for Africa this summer. At the same time, she?s completing the requirements for, as she says, a ?Ph.D. in gossip? ?more formally, a degree in interpersonal relationships.

Bootcamp attendees are from a wide range of professions and an equally wide geographic spread. A recent camp in suburban Detroit attracted participants from as far away as Calgary, Alberta, and Minneapolis. There were lawyers, doctors, city managers, Hispanic community leaders, marketing and media relations types from large corporations as well as representatives from nonprofit organizations.
