Opis

This book dissects crisis communication case studies from both the journalists' and the public relations professionals' perspective. In doing so, the authors acquaint professors and students of PR and journalism with the realities of covering and managing crises, including what works and why, as well as mistakes that occur.

Recenzje

"Public Relations and Journalism in Times of Crisis is a must-read for journalists, practi-tioners and students-and a fascinating exploration for anyone with interest in a peek behind the curtain at some of our culture's most pivotal moments. The authors break new ground in bringing together the convergent perspectives of crises from those who experience them, those who man-age them, those who report on them and the social media that engage and sometimes exacerbate them. While crisis prevention, management and mitigation have been the central part of my career and the focus of my writing, presenting and teaching, after just the introduction I came away with a better understanding of crisis and how to best understand and manage them. Far more than just cataloguing elements of a crisis or contrasting the differences among these various inter-ests and perspectives, Miller and Broussard chart a course for a better future for management and coverage of crises. There is no richer text for a unique, thorough, thoughtful study of crisis through differing perspectives and so many recent examples and case studies."
