I have seen a lot of videos showing kuffar understanding Islam after discussions with daees and Muslims. A lot of the media does not really know and understand Islam and are afraid of issues which you have mentioned. At least he can try to influence his office workers or close colleagues.
It will not be easy as others have mentioned.
It is worse to just shun away and run away and hide your self in a cocoon and let them continue dishing out the ignorance.
I bet for them to accord him an interview must show some goodwill on their part, if not the Allah JJ has some good plans for the brother.
Just a side note journalism and politics are 2 fields we Muslims lack in and why do you think this small little Israel is controlling this world?
Its Journalism brother and mainstream for that!

1. No point trying to influence close colleagues if it means doing anti Islamic things at the same time. It's like me trying to join a casino so I can give dawah to the blackjack dealers- shouldn't be done. In the same way, anti Islamic establishments should not be joined in the hope of giving its workers dawah and the media is one such field
2. No one is advocating running into a cocoon (although there is nothing wrong with that if it is to preserve your own imaan)
3. The fact he has an interview doesn't mean they have good will towards him- 'Muslims' get jobs in the western media companies all the time but these companies expect the Muslims to conform to their views, they aren't hired to give a wider perspective or anything
4. We lack in journalism and politics because they are both dirty games that pious Muslims have to avoid. Israel controls it because they control the money and banks which then in turn control the media. To change the media and how they portray Islam, you don't change the low level guys (journalists etc), you have to make change at the top and make it trickle down. But that itself isn't possible to do from within (it would be mean lobbying, banking, etc and all of these contain huge haram elements to them)
