The Role of Media Releases

Writing for Strategic Communication is a practical subject that provides an overview of the various forms of professional writing in strategic communication. These include writing for websites and blogs, tweeting, newsletter copy, letters and memos, media releases, feature articles and more. Students develop their own blogs, learn interviewing and note-taking techniques and conduct a face to face interview with a professional communicator. Students are encouraged to explore the concept of ‘great writing’ as a construct for developing their own writing skills.
