Coordinate messaging on press release archiving across markets and languages.
Building an Organised Digital Archive of Previous Press Releases
Move press release archiving from general awareness to a repeatable, reviewable practice.
Course Overview
Silence during a crisis involving press release archiving is itself a statement. The first version of a story about this aspect of communications and media practice tends to become the reference version. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about this area of communications and media practice in their own setting. The programme works equally well for those formalising press release archiving for the first time and those improving an existing approach. The programme converts this part of communications and media practice from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. Practitioner evidence points the same way: this aspect of communications and media practice improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. Buying a tool rarely fixes press release archiving; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about the practice within communications and media practice. Participants leave with a plan for this aspect of communications and media practice sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
