Inhoud

The role and function of the communication adviser is changing drastically. The changing role of communication and media correlates with developments in society. Organisations are not single entities, but operate in a dynamic environment. Social issues are formed easily, partially due to the influence of online communication. Organizations should respond quickly and adequately to issues. If they fail to do so, issues can result in crises that will have serious consequences for the organization’s reputation.
 
During the Project component, students analyze an issue in groups and will be introduced to two core tasks: issues management and dealing with the media. Project tasks include monitoring and analysing the media, researching issues, investigating the interests of various important stakeholders and the way they frame issues, analyzing the external environment, understanding news angles and creating media advice for an organization.

This advice also contains a visualization. Therefore, during the Visual Communication component, the student learns about using Microsoft Word and Adobe Illustrator.
