TRAINING FOR PUBLIC RELATIONS PRACTITIONERS  

Communicating effectively is a vital skill. You have to deal with customers, clients, investors, members of the public, the media and various other stakeholders. You are often faced with a variety of business  communication. Some of them are routine while others require careful
planning and research.


Press releases remain as one of the most effective ways for you to reach your organisation’s various stakeholders. A well-crafted press release will help you to communicate your intended message but first it should be picked up and reported by the media. Only then will your intended message reach your target audience. How do you then re-purpose the press release for the social media?

Do you struggle to write a response to a letter of complaint? Do you worry about the content and tone of your letter to the forum page? Are you unsure how you should convey the bad news to your stakeholder? Regardless of the complexity of the task, you should adopt the same basic process of carefully preparing your message.


In this course, you would be able to understand and use the principles of good and effective writing for public relations and corporate communication functions. You will be able to


 Understand the importance of good communications and its impact on corporate reputation;
 Frame replies and corporate messages effectively; and
 Recognise the attributes of good press release, statements and online content


You will take away frameworks for various writing tasks which participants can apply in their organisation.
