Build a concise communications plan for television news reporting that colleagues can follow without further explanation.
Building Skills for Producing Compelling Television News Reports
A structured, applied course in television news reporting — designed to be used the week you return.
Course Overview
The first version of a story about television news reporting tends to become the reference version. Internal audiences learn about the wider communications and media practice agenda from the news unless you reach them first. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to this strand of communications and media practice in an order their organisation can absorb. Plans for television news reporting often fail at the handover point between functions. Participants leave with a method for this area of communications and media practice, not a set of opinions about it. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about the communications and media practice capability in their own setting. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in television news reporting that were visible long before the incident. The level assumes working familiarity with the communications function but no prior formal training in this area of communications and media practice. The final module sets out how progress on the wider communications and media practice agenda will be evidenced six months later.
