Clarity for Leaders Navigating Noise

The Friday Reporter Podcast

I launched the Friday Reporter podcast to provide a unique platform for engaging conversations with journalists, communications experts, lobbyists and content creators.

I offer listeners a behind-the-scenes look at the news-making process, the people shaping public discourse and a greater understanding of the relationships between reporters, influencers and target audiences. Through my own experience, I bridge the gap between media, public affairs and lobbying in an insightful and entertaining way.

“Authentically Speaking” Column

My Substack is not about news or hot takes, it’s about orientation. I write for leaders navigating media, politics and reputation in an increasingly crowded and reactive environment. The focus is on what matters, and what does not and how judgment and restraint shape long-term influence.

The public essays reflect how I see the system. Paid subscribers receive deeper synthesis and access designed to reduce cognitive load and sharpen decision-making over time.

If you’re looking for volume, this may not be the place. If you’re looking for clarity, join me in this important conversation.

Lisa Camooso Miller is the founder of Friday Reporter Public Affairs, a Washington, D.C. communications consultancy specializing in media strategy, executive coaching, and crisis communications. Drawing on more than twenty years in senior government and political roles — including the U.S. Department of Commerce, the Office of the Speaker of the House, and the Republican National Committee — she helps organizations find their voice and use it well.

She is also the host of The Friday Reporter podcast and co-host of The Deciders.

Prior to her time in Washington, D.C., Miller served under two New Jersey governors, where she participated in the recovery and rebuilding efforts following the attacks of September 11th.

Miller is an adjunct professor at George Washington University, holds an M.A. in corporate and public communications from Monmouth University and a B.A. in communications from The College of New Jersey.

I help executives and institutions orient themselves in complex media, political and repetitional environments so they can make fewer, better decisions — and know when restraint is the smartest move.
