Ms. McPherson presents a well-timed and very needed text on the subject of handling PR crises, applicable to the individual and organization.

Excellent book

Excellent book even if you have no idea how to use a iPhone. At 90-years-old I don't think I'm supposed to care about what someone does on Facebook or Twitter, but this book kept me interested. There were a lot of new stories I remembered and I also wanted to know why Trump was so good on Twitter. Now I know!

Cancel culture. Digital Naturals. Digital Misfits. To remain silent or admit guilt. There are so many things to worry about when we have an online presence, especially if we find ourselves in any kind of controversy. This book is smart, direct, and has real-life examples and actionable tools to prevent or correct any issues we may have on social media.

Should be must-read ...

... and not just for public relations professionals. This is a frank look at the inside of crises. Molly McPherson masterfully shows us why some organizations weather crisis well and some organizations don't. Inside-the-warroom anecdotes are backed up with solid counsel. Who can forget the FEMA debacles? There was, as there often is, more to that story. This is an outstanding resource.

When Cecil the Lion was killed, it turned into a PR nightmare and stories like that mean you need to read this book. For someone like me (just a hair over being a baby boomer) it helped leaning the terms and recognizing how important it is to stay current. Highly recommend.
