COM 5360, Crisis Communication and Leadership

Unit VI PowerPoint Presentation

PowerPoint Presentation

Review Example 4.1 on pages 49-53 of your textbook. Using the 10 lessons in Chapter 7 as a guide, assume the role of a crisis communications consultant hired by BP one month after the spill has been contained. Develop a PowerPoint presentation for BP leadership to use during a press conference that will be given within the next week, with the purpose of employing positive messaging, repairing the company’s image, and explaining the company’s future plans.

The presentation must be at least eight slides, not including the introduction or citation slide. Use image repair theory (described in Chapter 2) as a framework for your approach.

When using images in a public presentation, you can use any of your own original images for which you own the copyright (such as photos you took yourself). If you search for images online, keep in mind that some photos might not be public domain (i.e., free to use). They could have a copyright that requires either permission or purchase to use. To avoid copyright infringement, it is best to use photos that you can clearly identify as public domain. Free stock photos (which are public domain photos and do not have a copyright) are available at http://www.freeimages.com/.
