With 16 years in front of the camera, and more than a decade as a nationally renowned media consultant, Mark Bernheimer brings clients the knowledge, experience, and integrity of a true expert.

Before founding MediaWorks in 2001, Bernheimer was a national correspondent for CNN, based out of the network’s Los Angeles Bureau. His assignments included many of the iconic news stories of our time, including the Columbine High School shootings, the Jon Benet Ramsey murder investigation, The Unabomber case, The Oklahoma City bombing trials of Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols, and the impeachment of President Bill Clinton. He was one of just a small handful of reporters inside the courtroom when OJ Simpson took the stand in his wrongful death civil trial. And he weathered five hurricanes on live national television.

Bernheimer’s reporting career also included stints at KCAL-TV in Los Angeles, the Orange County Register, and the National Geographic Channel.

Bernheimer left journalism to launch MediaWorks Resource Group, a media training and consulting firm founded on the recognition that, like reporting, interview skills cannot be perfected through books and lectures.

Bernheimer’s hands-on, interactive, reality based media training techniques have earned industry recognition and a diverse spectrum of clients, many of whom came to MediaWorks after less successful experiences with other media trainers.

Today, Bernheimer is frequently called upon by national news outlets to serve as an expert media analyst, and is a contributing writer to Public Relations Tactics and The Public Relations Strategist.  He is a graduate of the University of Oregon.
