SCHOOL OF COMMUNICATIONS AND ARTS
Credit Points: 20
 
Description:
Perception management in public relations or information warfare combines truth projection and psychological operations in order to protect the information environment or to use it for strategic ends. This course involves students in a practical, simulated, perception management exercise to examine the means by which modern organisations – corporate or government – control their information environment, in crisis or in information warfare contexts. The course examines theoretically and practically how information is conveyed or denied to modern audiences in order to influence emotions, motives, and objective reasoning.
