In this episode, we talk about the GIF. We give you some examples of where it has been used well in communications campaigns, the things to consider and the dark side. 


We have former ITV and BBC journalist Genelle Aldred, and founder of communications consultancy GA\C with us to talk to us about media training, creating space for conversations, and ethical storytelling.
