Media Management
Breaking the glass ceiling and achieving media management excellence
More and more studies are finding that women-owned and run organisations have an edge when it comes to innovation, and that women’s organisational participation leads to better business decisions. This innovative driving force is needed now more than ever before, and the media industry is no exception. Yet, despite global strides towards organisational transformation, most newsrooms are still dominated by men, with women still under-represented in the ranks of editors, managers, board members and decision-makers. Join us and learn from the real-world experience of women who have shattered the glass ceiling to lead the industry, well able to rise to the challenges of the current media environment.

As a company, noncompliance can be costly in terms of time, money and reputation loss. As a media practitioner, it is essential that you have knowledge of the laws that dictate your conduct and a sound understanding of how to practically implement this knowledge in your everyday news-gathering, content creation and distribution. Join us for this Introduction to Media Law and let seasoned journalist, Desmond Latham, help you navigate the legal landscape as it pertains to South Africa’s media.
