Media management connects the organisation of media work with communication, ethics and analysis. Its subject areas include journalism, digital media, strategic communication and the management of changing media environments.
Ethics, communication theory and analytics
Media-management study can connect theory with practical applications. Foundational topics include media ethics and communication theories. Social media management and media analytics provide further areas of enquiry. The Culture and Communication guide adds context for meaning, audiences and interaction.
Digital and interactive learning approaches
Digital learning approaches can be examined through the way a platform supports explanation, collaboration and feedback.
Augmented-reality projects and collaborative virtual classrooms are examples. The Information Technology Management guide provides related context for evaluating a digital system and its organisational purpose.
Projects and a portfolio of work
A capstone project can bring together concepts and a stated media problem. Such projects provide a setting for applying concepts and explaining a proposed response to a scenario. The Cultural Management and Planning guide adds a related perspective on audiences, resources and project organisation.
Specialist communication and storytelling
Specialist areas within media work include several forms of communication. These include crisis communication, data journalism and multimedia storytelling. Practical exercises and case studies can connect these subjects with particular communication problems.
A simulated scenario allows the relationship between an idea and its application to be discussed.
Related professional interests
The field connects media study with several professional interests. Examples include journalism, advertising, public relations and digital media.

Questions about Media Management
What should a media-management analysis explain?
A study task can ask learners to explain their reasoning and approach to a media problem. Analysis of media trends can inform that discussion. Collaborative projects also raise questions about how media teams organise their work.
How can project work contribute to a portfolio?
Project work can provide material through which a learner explains decisions and demonstrates practical work.
