Being an effective communicator

Good communication skills are essential when you are journalist – and even more so when you are a leader. Yet achieving effective communication is often complex – particularly when delivering challenging messages.

This course will discuss the different methods of communication across different platforms and channels in the context of an editorial setting. It will include examples of good and bad approaches, and will also show why it is important and the impact communication has on a team.

It will also reflect on maintaining strong communication in pressurised situations, the power of using communication to influence others and tools to enable communication within the team.
