COM 449 Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric
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.
Prompt
Based on requirements from the leadership team, continue to develop the slideshow presentation with corresponding speaker notes that you began developing in Milestone One. You will continue to develop this training presentation in a later module. For this section of your presentation, you need to address each of the following legal areas:
- Free Speech
- Copyright
- Right of Publicity
- Obscenity and Indecency
Specifically, you must address the rubric criteria below.
- Key Laws, Policies, and Regulations: Evaluate the ways that key laws, regulations, policies, and ethical codes of conduct influence how professionals communicate by addressing the following using supporting evidence:
- Purview: Identify the level of government or regulatory body that oversees compliance of key laws, regulations, policies, and ethical codes of conduct that inform professional communication.
- Purpose: Explain the purpose of key communication-focused laws, regulations, policies, and ethical codes of conduct that protect the rights of individuals and organizations and benefit society.
- Defining Cases: Summarize the context, rulings, and legal impact of defining cases that shaped how key laws, regulations, policies, and ethical codes of conduct are enforced and interpreted.
