Managing a Crisis in the Age of Social Media
The way people find out about breaking news has changed significantly in the past several years. From real time Twitter updates, to eyewitness news to iReports, how media outlets source and broadcast stories has changed as well. First-hand accounts from everyday people involved in an incident are not just relayed through the media, they are posted directly to the world through social media outlets such as Twitter and Facebook. In the era of social media, a crisis can start anywhere and can quickly spread everywhere. A local issue can rapidly spread online through interconnected channels. The groundswell of online dialogue can crossover into mainstream traditional media or extend a media story’s news cycle, exponentially increasing its reach and significance. Come, find out from some of the leading experts, journalists and global companies on how to be ready for crisis in the age of social media. Walk away with tips and actionable insights that can help you prepare for the unexpected.
