Risk Management Version 2 Readings
The news media are influential in shaping how the public thinks
and feels about an organization’s reputation, values, and
actions. How the media are managed can either hurt or help in a
crisis.
This unit will introduce you to the distinct, predictable patterns
of how media react and report a crisis. Understanding these
patterns can help organizational leaders plan better and stay
ahead of the game during a crisis situation. Smart and speedy
communication, particularly during the first two stages
described in Chapters 7 and 9, will help leaders manage the
media coverage and mitigate damage to their reputation.
There are a few key news ingredients which determine how
much prominence a news story is given. These include:
Human Interest
-Meier, 2011, p. 49)
The more of these criteria that are present, the higher the news
value, and the more likely the story will be a lead story for
days. Leaders should be aware of these criteria as they plan
their communications, especially during the breaking news stage
of a crisis (Walaski, 2011).
The media report a crisis in four discernible stages (Jordan-
Meier, 2011, p. 44):
1. Stage One: Fact Finding
2. Stage Two: Unfolding Drama
3. Stage Three: Blame
4. Stage Four: Fallout/resolution
During Stage One, or the breaking news stage, the media are
looking to confirm what happened. The focus is squarely on the
crisis incident. This is when media talk to eyewitnesses,
victims, and anyone who is willing to speak to find out
information and facts. They may also turn to social media, such
as Twitter, for eyewitness reports and other breaking news.
Many of the questions asked will be speculative in nature. As
the crisis is breaking, the media, acting in the public interest,
will want to know that the public is safe and that the
responsible organization is responding swiftly. The key lesson
to remember during this first stage of crisis reporting is to only
say what you know to be fact.
What typically happens during Stage One?

-Meier, 2011)
One of the most important things a leader can do during the
break out stage of a crisis is to inform employees regularly.
Employees will talk often and to lots of people, so it is
important that they are informed with correct, accurate
information about what happened and what steps are being
taken to address the crisis at hand (Jordan-Meier, 2011).
During Stage Two, or the unfolding drama stage, the focus
shifts from the incident itself to the organization’s response and
to the victims. The initial facts about the crisis are now out for
public debate and discussion. People want to know what has
happened to the victims and how the incident was handled. The
expectation is that the media will tell the public what went
wrong, who was responsible, and what might happen in the
future. The media will also “dig for dirt,” especially if they
think that someone is hiding something, and they will “issue
link” back to previous events.
What typically happens during Stage Two?

and plans to take.
feelings and attitudes; address concerns
quickly. (Jordan-Meier, 2011)
If Stage Two is handled well, then the organization may be able
to skip Stage Three, the mudslinging stage. The key lesson for
Stage Two is to understand the power of social media and to
find and connect with your unofficial spokespeople. Think
about how people rallied at social media sites after Hurricane
Katrina or the earthquake in Haiti (Jordan-Meier, 2011).

how are they manifested in both the traditional, mainstream, and
social media? Include two recent examples to illustrate your
response.
Describe the media focus during Stage Two of crisis reporting.
What actions should organizational leaders take during Stage
Two to ensure correct and accurate information is being

example of this phenomenon related to a crisis that you are
familiar with.

Risk Management Version 2 Readings The news media are influe.docx

  • 1. Risk Management Version 2 Readings The news media are influential in shaping how the public thinks and feels about an organization’s reputation, values, and actions. How the media are managed can either hurt or help in a crisis. This unit will introduce you to the distinct, predictable patterns of how media react and report a crisis. Understanding these patterns can help organizational leaders plan better and stay ahead of the game during a crisis situation. Smart and speedy communication, particularly during the first two stages described in Chapters 7 and 9, will help leaders manage the media coverage and mitigate damage to their reputation. There are a few key news ingredients which determine how much prominence a news story is given. These include: Human Interest -Meier, 2011, p. 49) The more of these criteria that are present, the higher the news value, and the more likely the story will be a lead story for days. Leaders should be aware of these criteria as they plan their communications, especially during the breaking news stage of a crisis (Walaski, 2011). The media report a crisis in four discernible stages (Jordan- Meier, 2011, p. 44): 1. Stage One: Fact Finding 2. Stage Two: Unfolding Drama 3. Stage Three: Blame
  • 2. 4. Stage Four: Fallout/resolution During Stage One, or the breaking news stage, the media are looking to confirm what happened. The focus is squarely on the crisis incident. This is when media talk to eyewitnesses, victims, and anyone who is willing to speak to find out information and facts. They may also turn to social media, such as Twitter, for eyewitness reports and other breaking news. Many of the questions asked will be speculative in nature. As the crisis is breaking, the media, acting in the public interest, will want to know that the public is safe and that the responsible organization is responding swiftly. The key lesson to remember during this first stage of crisis reporting is to only say what you know to be fact. What typically happens during Stage One? -Meier, 2011) Expect the media to: (Jordan-Meier, 2011) What to do in Stage One: st. -Meier, 2011) One of the most important things a leader can do during the break out stage of a crisis is to inform employees regularly. Employees will talk often and to lots of people, so it is important that they are informed with correct, accurate
  • 3. information about what happened and what steps are being taken to address the crisis at hand (Jordan-Meier, 2011). During Stage Two, or the unfolding drama stage, the focus shifts from the incident itself to the organization’s response and to the victims. The initial facts about the crisis are now out for public debate and discussion. People want to know what has happened to the victims and how the incident was handled. The expectation is that the media will tell the public what went wrong, who was responsible, and what might happen in the future. The media will also “dig for dirt,” especially if they think that someone is hiding something, and they will “issue link” back to previous events. What typically happens during Stage Two? ment begins. media. -Meier, 2011) Expect the media to: situation.) cable networks.) (Jordan-Meier, 2011) What to do in Stage Two: nd provide the “big picture.” and plans to take. feelings and attitudes; address concerns quickly. (Jordan-Meier, 2011)
  • 4. If Stage Two is handled well, then the organization may be able to skip Stage Three, the mudslinging stage. The key lesson for Stage Two is to understand the power of social media and to find and connect with your unofficial spokespeople. Think about how people rallied at social media sites after Hurricane Katrina or the earthquake in Haiti (Jordan-Meier, 2011). References: Jordan-Meier, J. (2011). The four stages of highly effective crisis management: How to manage the media in the digital age. Boca Raton, FL: CRC Press. Walaski, P. (2011). Risk and crisis communications: Methods and messages. Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons. Risk Management Version 2 1. Identify and describe a recent crisis or controversy that has gone viral and escalated on Facebook, Twitter, and/or YouTube. What characteristics of Stage Two did you observe? What are the lessons for organizations? Your response should be at least 250 words in length. Describe how the spotlight is shining squarely on the incident in Stage One. What are the key characteristics of this stage, and how are they manifested in both the traditional, mainstream, and social media? Include two recent examples to illustrate your response. Describe the media focus during Stage Two of crisis reporting. What actions should organizational leaders take during Stage Two to ensure correct and accurate information is being communicated to the public?
  • 5. 1. Describe what is meant by the term "issue link". Provide an example of this phenomenon related to a crisis that you are familiar with.
