Rezensionen

"Yan Jin and Lucinda Austin have pulled together an impressive list of crisis communication scholars whose research on various aspects of social media and crisis couldn't be more timely--from a review of social media in a global context to misinformation, the book examines current issues in social media and crisis, foundations and frameworks and provides case studies. It is edited with dexterity. It is a "must have" in any crisis communication course and highly recommended."

disaster cycles and provide readers with relatable and global case studies and methods to design and evaluate real-world or in-class interventions or activities."
