Homework: Milestone Guidelines
Overview
Now that you have explored key legal areas and defined cases that have shaped them, you will apply what you have learned to the second section of your course project. Remember that you are continuing to add to the presentation you began in Milestone One.
Scenario
You work as a communication specialist for a large company that has recently been faced with a lawsuit regarding sharing private information. In light of the recent lawsuit, you have been asked to train internal staff on legal and ethical best practices for communication to reduce the likelihood of another legal battle, but also to ensure that the organization is being socially and ethically responsible in its communication practices. Your training will be reviewed by the organization's attorney before being finalized and presented; however, the organization is confident that your expertise in media law and ethics will mean that the in-house attorney will not need to make significant changes.
