Course Overview

Silence during a crisis involving radio talk programme design is itself a statement. The first version of a story about programme design tends to become the reference version. The programme suits teams tackling the practice within communications and media practice together as readily as individuals attending alone. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of radio talk programme design is examined, not just described. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in this strand of communications and media practice that were visible long before the incident. The programme converts programme design from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting radio talk programme design and under-invest in testing it. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting programme design, ready to be adapted internally. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to the practice within communications and media practice that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
