Designing Rapid Editing Strategies for News Content

Course Overview

Internal audiences learn about rapid news editing from the news unless you reach them first. Journalists covering the practice within communications and media practice are working to a deadline you do not control. Organisations that document this part of communications and media practice properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in rapid news editing rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on this aspect of communications and media practice and revise it on evidence. Buying a tool rarely fixes the communications and media practice capability; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. Participants who influence rapid news editing without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. Participants leave with a method for the communications and media practice discipline, not a set of opinions about it. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make this area of communications and media practice sustainable.
