The Nicholson School of Communication (NSC) hosted the third annual International Crisis and Risk Communication (ICRC) Conference at the Student Union from March 4 to 6.\u00a0\"logo\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The annual ICRC Conference brings together the leading experts in both academic and professional fields. The collaboration provides insights and understanding into what constitutes successful and at times unsuccessful\u00a0crisis and risk communication. This year\u2019s theme was \u201cRethinking Media<\/b>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Discussions held during the conference allowed participants to share, discuss, interact and network with professionals, practitioners and scholars alike in realms of theory and practice. The conference shared current research findings and proven best practices, which provided attendees the opportunity to learn, grow and enhance their knowledge, skills and abilities.<\/p>\n

The first day of the conference consisted of two pre-conference workshops, which attendees could choose to attend in addition to the general and breakout sessions available on March 5 and 6. The two offered workshops were \u201cMedia Survival Skills Tactical Training Workshop\u201d and \u201cCrisis Communication Boot Camp.\u201d The Survival Skills workshop was administered by LJT Associates (aviation communication consultants) and covered their proven methods and principles for media survival. The Crisis Communication Boot Camp was led by The Media Skills Academy and discussed how to be \u201cphysically fit\u201d to handle a crisis.<\/p>\n

The subsequent days of the conference were filled with many impressive nationally and internationally renowned speakers. The conference was highlighted by the keynote speaker\u2019s presentation by NSC Professor\u00a0Dr. W. Timothy Coombs<\/b>\u00a0and his presentation was \u201cSorting Reality from Hype: Creating Rules for Social Media Crises.\u201d Coombs\u2019 presentation explored the hype over social media and how social media crises differ from traditional crises. It also identified rules for managing social media crises. The second day of the conference ended with a beautiful networking reception adjacent to UCF\u2019s Reflecting Pond.<\/p>\n

The third and final day of the conference featured investigative reporter\u00a0Jerry Mitchell<\/b>\u00a0as the keynote speaker. His presentation was \u201cDealing with Press during Crises: A Real Life Muckraker Tells All.\u201d For his presentation, Mitchell drew key examples from his historic career to display the importance of truth, trust, integrity and transparency when communicating with the press. Mitchell also challenged crisis communicators to consider such issues as they communicate with the media and public.<\/p>\n

Save the date for the fourth annual ICRC Conference. It will be from March 3, 2014 to March 6, 2014. The 2014 conference theme will be \u201cThe Human Element.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
