Course Overview

Journalists covering press freedom and privacy are working to a deadline you do not control. Credibility in freedom and privacy is spent quickly and rebuilt slowly. The version of this strand of communications and media practice described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. This programme builds press freedom and privacy from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. Comparative studies of the communications and media practice capability across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. It suits anyone whose decisions touch freedom and privacy, in large organisations and small ones alike. They acquire practical criteria for judging when press freedom and privacy is working and when it is only appearing to. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of freedom and privacy is examined, not just described. Participants leave with a plan for this area of communications and media practice sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
