Course Overview

Credibility in celebrity image management is spent quickly and rebuilt slowly. Journalists covering the wider communications and media practice agenda are working to a deadline you do not control. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what this aspect of communications and media practice has actually achieved. The most reliable predictor of sound celebrity image management is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for this part of communications and media practice. Every module pairs a short input on the communications and media practice capability with structured practice on the participant's own material. Improvement in celebrity image management stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. The programme converts this strand of communications and media practice from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to the practice within communications and media practice that would make a visible difference.
