Crisis PR – managing a bad press

How to keep your name out of the papers when things go pear-shaped

Handling the media with confidence is vital when bad news strikes and negative headlines are looming.

Even the best organisations can end up in the firing line through no fault of their own, and end up needing help with the press. You may be facing public protests about a sensitive local issue. You could find yourself dealing with a fire or flood. But don't panic. There's a lot more to crisis PR than a damage limitation exercise.

guide you through a potentially controversial local issue
ensure a temporary crisis doesn’t become a long-term PR disaster
do everything possible to turn bad news to your advantage
