Knowing your audience
Identifying the target audience and discovering the information needs of readers, listeners and viewers, is essential for formulating an editorial proposition.
Managing people and setting objectives
Media managers need to set clear objectives for all staff in order to get the best out of those who work for the news organisation.

A media organisation needs to be clear about what it stands for in order to win the trust of the audience.

Media houses continually revise their output to ensure that they retain the existing audience and attract new listeners, viewers, and readers.
Forward planning for media organisations
This module looks at how media organisations need to plan ahead in order to produce original content that informs the public debate and makes the most efficient use of resources.
Setting up a media business
A media business is like a table with four legs - the target audience, the editorial proposition, values, and the market.
Preparing a media corporate plan
The corporate plan is the most important tool in a media chief executive’s toolbox. Without it the media organisation can become lost and directionless.
Creating a converged newsroom
A converged news operation offers improved quality control, more efficient workflows, cost savings, a steady flow of original journalism across all devices, and new resulting business opportunities.
