Communications in a crisis

Virginia Tech Tragedy: Evaluating VT Web crisis communication plan

Responding to the tragedy at Virginia Tech

The University has created a time line of events. This should help with rumor control. Right now campus communications is working under great stress, my heart is with them.

Monday, Bloody Monday

At least 21 dead in a shooting at Virginia Tech University.

I can't believe the news today
I can't close my eyes and make it go away.
How long, how long must we sing this song?

Not funny Rob Corddry

From his routine on the George Allen race blooper

I don’t know what macaca means, but it sure sounds racist. In Virginia I’m not sure whether that helps you or hurts you.

Hint Corddry, in 1985, when you were in diapers, we elected Doug Wilder Lt. Governor of Virginia. In 1989 we elected him Governor. Get back to us when and if a comedian with dark skin gets a gig on The Daily Show.
