Handle the trade-offs in media law and copyright between speed, cost and assurance explicitly rather than implicitly.
Building a Comprehensive Understanding of Media Law and Copyright
An applied course in media law and copyright built around the decisions practitioners actually face.
Course Overview
Internal audiences learn about media law and copyright from the news unless you reach them first. The first version of a story about law and copyright tends to become the reference version. Participants leave with a method for the communications and media practice capability, not a set of opinions about it. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make media law and copyright hard in practice. The most reliable predictor of sound this part of communications and media practice is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. The programme works equally well for those formalising law and copyright for the first time and those improving an existing approach. Progress on media law and copyright is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of law and copyright to standardise and which to leave flexible. The programme ends where implementation begins, with the wider communications and media practice agenda broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
