mediagenic

Looks good broadcast

Mediagenic describes someone who comes across well in media appearances—on television, in photographs, or in interviews.

The word blends "media" with the "-genic" of photogenic, suggesting a natural appeal that translates through cameras and microphones: a mediagenic candidate who excels in debates.

Politicians and public figures are often judged on whether they're mediagenic enough to connect with audiences.
