COMMUNICATING RISK: GLOBAL EMERGENCIES

Catalog description

(Slashed with CCI 48001 ) This course examines communication during times of global chaos, catastrophe and recovery, a field also known as high-risk communication (HRC). By studying pandemics, climate crises, terrorism and humanitarian disasters, we will explore the challenges of science and fact-based communication in real-world contexts. We will apply best practices in visual, digital and public communication and media relations to the real-time exchange of information that engages the public, motivates action and saves lives.
