Design the digital and social response protocol for real-time media monitoring.
Building Comprehensive Real-Time Media Monitoring Systems
Build a working method for real-time media monitoring that stands up to scrutiny and survives daily pressure.
Course Overview
Credibility in real-time media monitoring is spent quickly and rebuilt slowly. The first version of a story about this part of communications and media practice tends to become the reference version. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of the wider communications and media practice agenda is examined, not just described. The programme is built to be used, and every section of real-time media monitoring it covers ends in something applicable. Mature organisations treat the communications and media practice capability as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on this part of communications and media practice and revise it on evidence. The content is relevant to those who own real-time media monitoring and to those who are held accountable for its results. Buying a tool rarely fixes this strand of communications and media practice; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. Work concludes with a self-assessment of the communications and media practice discipline that participants can repeat annually.
