Political Leadership in Disaster and Crisis Communication and Management: International Perspectives and Practices
Political Leadership in Disaster and Crisis Communication and Management: International Perspectives and Practices
Best practice approaches for reporting disasters
Much of the research about disasters has focused on the poor and unethical practices of journalists reporting on disasters, but relatively little has been written about best practice approaches to news media coverage of such events. This article uses two sources of data, interviews with senior emergency managers in eight countries and the body of research on news media coverage of disasters, to develop a best practice schema for journalists repor…
Political communication and disasters: A four-country analysis of how politicians should talk before, during and after disasters
Ducking for cover in the ‘blame game: News framing of the findings of two reports into the 2010–11 Queensland floods

However, relatively little is known about how the narrative of blame plays out in media coverage of the release of official disaster reports. This paper examines coverage by two Australian newspapers (The Courier‐Mail and The Australian) of the release of the Queensland Floods Commission of Inquiry's Interim Report and its Final Report to identify whether and how the news frame of bl…

Similarly, New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani was praised for his leadership following 9…
When minutes count: Tension and trust in the relationship between emergency managers and the media
In crisis and disaster situations the accuracy, scope, credibility and timeliness of media information depend on relationships between journalists and emergency managers. In the chaos of an unfolding disaster this relationship relies heavily on trust. This specific area has received sparse research attention. Accordingly, we reviewed and synthesized literature on trust, and used qualitative analysis of interviews to examine how elite practitioner…
