Graduate Public Communication Practicum
Spring 2005
As the culmination of the "skills component" for the Master of Arts degree in Public Communication, the Practicum course includes such skills as media training -- how to face the television cameras to tell your organization's story. The class members simulated being the director of communications for a Disctrict of Columbia organization that had faced more than its fair share of media problems during the past two years. Here the grad students conduct a news conference before a battery of local and national media representatives.
