Course Overview

Reputation built over years is re-assessed publicly within hours when media coverage tone analysis is mishandled. Journalists covering tone analysis are working to a deadline you do not control. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting the wider communications and media practice agenda and under-invest in testing it. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on media coverage tone analysis are used deliberately. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place the communications and media practice capability among the areas with the widest performance spread. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of tone analysis and prepares them for it. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about media coverage tone analysis. It concentrates on the parts of tone analysis that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to this strand of communications and media practice that would make a visible difference.
