Crisis communication a case approach review

I'm teaching a crisis communication course as a second term public relations course. Finding this text was a gift from the author. The front part of the text covers the crisis communication literature/theories and the second part has very well-developed case studies. It is up-to-date and well written. My students rave about the text. Most read the text completely and then are going back to each chapter as we move through the term. Since my students are required to produce case study evaluations they find the examples in the text to be a good model. Students say this book is a "keeper."

An Excellent Overview of How PR Crises Are Handled

I anticipated that reading a book about my profession would be rather dry, but was actually quite riveted by this book. It goes into excellent detail about the way a wide variety of crises are handled and offers common sense and explicit guidlines about how to deal with crisis communications.

Such a variety are included that it is likely to cover an area familiar to any PR professional.

She includes detailed interviews with those in charge of dealing with the media and several crisis communications plans. From NIKE to the postal service shootings, the book takes an inside look at how different PR professionals reacted to the variety of circumstances.

It is always useful to look closely at what others in your business are doing and this book does an excellent job of conveying that. This book consolidated many things I knew but had not put together completely.

Great book!

This is one of my required textbooks for a class on Crisis Management. It is very informative and easy to read. The information is well organized, and the case studies tie the main points together very well.
