This practical course is designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills to become a content creator in the media and communications industry.

You’ll focus on developing your skills as a Public Relations writer.
Examine the difference between earned, owned, and paid media channels, and consider how the contemporary PR practitioners’ role has evolved into one of content creation.
