As growing numbers of people turn off the news, how can journalists and communicators reach their audiences?No news is not good news… In an era dominated by a seemingly constant flow of grim news, news fatigue is becoming recognized as a serious concern, even a health risk. Around-the-clock reports of the pandemic, political upheaval, climate change, and other major global issues can feel unavoidable because of easy access via social media.

CPRS Health Academy Presents: First Canadian Live-streaming of a Kidney Transplant

octobre 01, 2019 , 1 p.m. EST

Long ago surgery was viewed as a "spectacle" that brought audiences in to learn and observe. Today, Facebook live-streaming presents a new opportunity to bring audiences where they would otherwise never be - in this case, into a real surgery in real time. For St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton, it was a method of reaching an unprecedented size of audience to achieve organizational goals that included health education, encouraging live kidney donations, connecting with young audiences in schools and building organizational reputation. But it was not without risk, an enormous amount of planning, and addressing ethical issues. In the end, it was storytelling at its best, which reached a broad audience, attracted national media attention, social media across the globe, and built good will inside and outside of the hospital.

The Value of Internal Communications in Canada’s Best Places to Work

avril 23, 2019 , 1:00 PM EST

Do organizations view and value internal communications as a strategic method to create relationships with employees? Canada’s Best Places to Work certainly do. This session explores Canada’s Best Places to Work (as awarded by Glassdoor) in two critical areas as it relates to internal communications. #1 – How the companies’ communications/PR functions have been structured to support excellence in PR. And #2 – How their comms/PR teams are using internal communications to create mutually beneficial relationships with employees and provide maximum value to their organizations. The key findings from this presentation should prove valuable to those that want to build and strengthen their internal communications practices to support strong organization-employee relationships, and those that want to align with what Canada’s “best” workplaces are doing to ensure their comms team is structured and operates as a strategic management function.
