This volume centers on the relationship between media and crisis communication, the need to address which has only been heightened by the recent experience of COVID-19 and the needs for public health crisis communication.

With multiple voices and multiple fields engaging simultaneously with crisis communication, this book illuminates the role of media in crisis communication within this complex environment. Both traditional and digital media, including social media platforms, respond to an array of crisis contexts including political crises, public health crises, disasters, and organizational crises. The book presents original research that approaches the effects of media in any of the possible crisis contexts.

This collection will interest scholars and students of crisis communication, public relations, risk communication, digital media, and political communication.
