Sequence improvements to audience-tailored media content so that each step makes the next one easier.
Building Strategies to Tailor Media Content for Each Audience
Turn audience-tailored media content from a stated policy into a practice your organisation can evidence.
Course Overview
Journalists covering audience-tailored media content are working to a deadline you do not control. Silence during a crisis involving this aspect of communications and media practice is itself a statement. The course covers the practice within communications and media practice at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. Ambition around audience-tailored media content outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. The professional literature on this aspect of communications and media practice converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about the wider communications and media practice agenda. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a communications plan for audience-tailored media content as they go. The programme works equally well for those formalising this strand of communications and media practice for the first time and those improving an existing approach. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make this part of communications and media practice sustainable.
