The rise of bots and trolls in the misinformation game
In this world of instant information sharing, and the rise of fake news, a new player is on the scene. Social media bots and trolls are now the next big challenge for communicators – but how do they work and how do we counter them?
How to be an influencer within your organisation
Communications: everyone has an opinion, and everyone thinks they’re an expert. It’s a problem accountancy and legal teams in organisations rarely encounter, but for communication professionals it can be a common frustration, and it means that – more than any other professional service – we need to be brilliant at influencing.
Strategy and Evaluation for PR and Communication
Effective public relations and communication strategy supports your organisational outcomes, is feasible and can be resourced. As organisations grow in size, communication often becomes a mix of tactics, with channels full of information that hinders rather than helps. Without a clear strategy, your time and resources are wasted and the value of your work will be missed.
How media and information providers can help overcome false information
The Workshop recently produced a briefing paper for people in the media on strategies to manage and prevent false information about COVID-19 spreading and taking hold. In support of the wider public relations and media industry, this LIVE webinar is available to everyone free of charge. A huge thanks to The Workshop for their generosity in sharing their knowledge and time.
Writing Skills for PR and Communication
Increasingly we want pictures and video rather than text and we’re more likely to see our stories peppered with emoji rather than perfectly punctuated prose. So do we still need the written word in today’s visual and virtual worlds? Yes we do – but we need to approach it in a different way.
Change Communication
Change is one of those disruptive elements in a workplace that can cause anxieties, uncertainty and perceived threat – to senior manager and every employee in equal measure. And it is not the magnitude of change that matters – any change that affects how people feel within and about your organisation will require communication that is credible, consistent and responsive. It also requires a special focus on clarity.
