W. Timothy Coombs & Sherry J. Holladay 
The Handbook of Crisis Communication 

Written as a tool for both researchers and communication managers,

issues in crisis communication.

* Includes in-depth analyses of well-known case studies in
crisis communication, from terrorist attacks to Hurricane
Katrina

* Explores the key emerging areas of new technology and global
crisis communication

* Provides a starting point for developing crisis communication
as a distinctive field research rather than as a sub-discipline of
public relations or corporate communication
