Organization: Geneva Centre of Humanitarian Studies
Start date: 24 Apr 2023
End date: 5 May 2023
Registration deadline: 2 Apr 2023

The relationship between aid agencies and international/local media is often ambivalent yet vital for public and operational outcomes. This course aims at exploring the theoretical and practical issues and implications of this challenging relationship.

The course programme analyses the two sides of the interaction: the first part examines public communications by aid agencies in a changing media environment and includes media training for operational purposes.

The second part explores the principles of humanitarian journalism and crisis reporting, questioning the media’s agenda, the newsworthiness of humanitarian contexts and the impact of media coverage.

Objectives of the course:

At the end of the course, you will be able to:

  • characterize the specificities of humanitarian communications;
  • understand the international, regional and local media landscapes, including digital media;
  • engage in media training;
  • assess the concept of “media power” and the logic of media attention and coverage;
  • evaluate the challenges of media relations and the opportunities for humanitarian reporting;
  • examine humanitarian representations and the visual politics of aid;
  • analyse the ethical and deontological outcomes of media relations and messaging.

Workload:

Around 20-25 hours of work each week, including:

  • Asynchronous self-study activities (such as case studies, videos, recorded slideshows, readings, etc.)
  • Synchronous live sessions (mandatory, usually in the early afternoon, CET)
