<blockquote type="cite" cite><font color="#000000">At some point in
your career (or future career) as an engineering communicator, it is
possible that you will be speaking with the media about a crisis in
your organization. The better prepared you are for this experience,
the better the chance you will be satisfied with the
outcome.</font></blockquote>

<blockquote type="cite" cite><font color="#000000">In this session,
Mike Lawrence, former TV journalist and current vice president of Cone
Inc., a strategic marketing/communications agency that specializes in
crisis management, and Bill Litant, a former print and broadcast
journalist who is the MIT Aero-Astro communications director, will
discuss crisis communications.</font></blockquote>

<blockquote type="cite" cite><font color="#000000">They'll
examine:</font></blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>
<ul>
<li><font color="#000000">The good and bad of how government and
industry have publicly responded to such engineering-related crises as
the Columbia Shuttle accident, the Big Dig construction problems, and
the recent Kryptonite lock issue;
<li>How institutions can assess communications risks and contain
crises when they break out. Examples: How can you ensure you are
quoted as accurately as possible? How do you handle negative reporting
tactics? Is it ever safe to talk off the record? How can you make the
best of a negative event?</font></ul>
