Description
Section information text: This course explores the context and importance of communicating responsibly from an ethical perspective. Adopting a systemic approach, students will explore the core competencies communicators need to develop for ethical communication practices. Ethics and the concept of principled public relations are woven throughout discussions and assignments. A particular focus will be on privacy data considerations for web and social communication platforms. The ethical and legal focus underscores the importance of responsibly communicating an era of misinformation and "fake news".
