Using social media in crisis comms

Stephen DaviesOver on PR Blogger Stephen Davies takes a look at an airline company’s use of YouTube by their CEO to offer an online apology to customers affected by bad weather and cancelled flights in February.

‘…the use of YouTube has allowed the company to put its own point across while at the same time cutting out the message gatekeepers – the traditional media. I remember reading a quote stating that in this day and age, every organisation (no matter how large or small) has the capacity to be a media company in its own right.

This is a good example me thinks.’

It’s well worth a read as Davies takes a look at the situation and pulls in opinion from across the blogosphere.
