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 and George Greenwood, we’ll discuss managing a crisis in the press from the perspective of the journalists writing the copy. 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.
