My obsession with social media is rapidly becoming everyone else’s, too. Thanks to Facebook, I re-connected recently with about a dozen of my former classmates. That is what I wrote about in this week’s CityBeat column.
I joined a class this morning on crisis communication for non-profits. There were some good tidbits from the lecture. I was able to get glean some useful information from the talk, and even got the slides from the presentation afterward.
Here it is:
I mostly like what was said, aside from the “never talk off the record” part and no mention of “never lying” to a reporter, which is something I think people fall into a lot.
At the end of the class we were asked to role play a crisis situation discussion with a member of the media. The person I’m working with runs a small private school and the scenario we came up with a child was picked up by an authorized person, namely a parent who did not have custody, and was now missing. I played the reporter. We decided to keep it light (after hearing a class full of people take it seriously).
This is my favorite TV show of all time. And someone went to the great task of editing out all the dialouge, except for the cuss words. I love it. (And it’s sort of amazing that you can kind of figure out what is going on just using this…)
