btn-purchasenow

Join PR News as we look at some of the most recent high-profile crises and analyze what worked, what didn’t work and offer practical takeaways on how to implement media relations tactics during a crisis that result in positive and fair coverage.

At this Webinar, you'll learn how to:

  • Make transparency and credibility the drivers of your media relations efforts during a crisis
  • Insure that all spokespeople and employees are continually briefed with updates about the crisis
  • Build in time to coach spokespeople on difficult questions from the media
  • Manage your Twitter and Facebook accounts as if they were the primary sources of information and news about a crisis
  • Work with legal counsel to make your organization as responsive to the media as possible during a crisis while minimizing liability
  • Communicate key messages that instill trust, and ultimately counteract negative messages
  • Keep your stakeholders at the top of your priority list, and tell the media that you are valuing stakeholders above all else
  • Develop a single, clear message that is communicated by multiple spokespeople to multiple channels

The first place the media will go for information during a crisis will be your Twitter and Facebook accounts, and our crisis management experts will share the best ways to use your social media channels as your first line of communications; craft a single core message that is communicated by all spokespeople; and put your stakeholders first in all communications with the media. Don’t miss this opportunity to equip yourself with the skills you’ll need to lead your organization through a crisis.

Your organization is under constant threat of being plunged into a crisis that can threaten its profitability, credibility and even its very existence. A product defect, a financial scandal, an angry employee or customer, an offensive comment from a highly visible spokesperson or senior leader, a natural disaster—these and more can touch off a crisis that puts your organization at the center of a 24/7 firestorm, and you will need to have a media relations strategy in place to survive the storm. Positive media coverage can not only help your organization survive a crisis—it can point the way toward a new era of trust with your stakeholders.
