This Media in Humanitarian Settings module is part of the wider FIELD Programme.
FIELD
is a ground-breaking, free capacity building programme. FIELD’s focus

humanitarian responses.

Is this course for me?
This course is designed for field managers or media managers to support them
to engage with the media. The ability to engage with the media
constitutes a must-have competency for leaders, advocates, aid workers,
programme specialists and spokespeople.
How will I benefit from this course?
Working with the media during an emergency response takes careful
planning and execution. When it is done correctly it can result in
strong coverage for your organisation, a chance to influence current and
future supporters and donors, highlight concerns for children and raise
your organisation’s profile. It is therefore one of the essential
skills needed by emergency communicators.
How long will it take? Approximately 1 hour. You can exit at any time and when you return, the module will take you to where you left off.
How much does it cost? This course is free!
