Course Overview
Reputation built over years is re-assessed publicly within hours when investigative article writing is mishandled. The first version of a story about the communications and media practice capability tends to become the reference version. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about this part of communications and media practice under scrutiny. The programme takes participants through investigative article writing end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for the wider communications and media practice agenda, not for observers of it. The most reliable predictor of sound this area of communications and media practice is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about investigative article writing in their own setting. Progress on the communications and media practice discipline is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. Work concludes with a self-assessment of the wider communications and media practice agenda that participants can repeat annually.
