CRISIS COMMUNICATION

We are encountered with descriptions of how risks and crisis can affect us and our society.

This course deals with how an organization can plan for, handle and evaluate communication in a state of crisis.

The course focuses on what the continuously changing conditions of globalization and digitalization mean to crisis communication. In the course, the students have the chance to analyze and evaluate current or historical examples of how organizations have been dealing with crisis communication. Students also have the chance to critically discuss the role of media and organizations for a crisis consciousness in society.

Upon completion of the course students should be able to

• identify and describe important steps in an organizations handling of crisis communication,
• assess the vulnerability of an organization from the perspective of crisis communication,
• prepare a communication plan for dealing with crisis, and explain and critically discuss the cooperation between media, society and organizations during a crisis situation.
