Course Overview
Internal audiences learn about sports championship coverage from the news unless you reach them first. Journalists covering this strand of communications and media practice are working to a deadline you do not control. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of the wider communications and media practice agenda to standardise and which to leave flexible. Comparative studies of sports championship coverage across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about this aspect of communications and media practice in their own setting. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting the wider communications and media practice agenda and under-invest in testing it. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for sports championship coverage, not for observers of it. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in this strand of communications and media practice, not around theory headings. The programme ends where implementation begins, with the practice within communications and media practice broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
