Q&A: How UK business crises are reported – a conversation with James Hurley

What does a corporate crisis look like from the newsroom? In this session in conversation with James Hurley, we’ll discuss managing a crisis in the press from the perspective of a journalist. What works in terms of providing context, putting up credible spokespeople and who really controls the narrative in these situations? When can you – and should you – go ‘on deep background’ – and how? We’ll talk through real, and hypothetical, situations from the newsroom.
