Learn how to navigate the media during times of crisis.

 

For the 3rd part of our Best Practices for Brand Communications in Times of Uncertainty webinar series, we brought in a team of our award-winning Cision Insights communications research experts to share key learnings from the COVID-19 media analysis reports they authored. 

Our panel analyzed two distinct aspects of the COVID-19 Pandemic: How traditional and social media treat top US companies as defined by the volume of coverage they generate, and what COVID-19 trends in China can teach us as we navigate our day-to-day in the USA.

The on-demand webinar covers:

  • Trends in COVID-19 media coverage including the most frequently discussed markets, topics and industries
  • Learnings from China and how Western communicators can start preparing for a re-entry into "normal" communication activities
  • Examples of Chinese companies who are communicating well during this crisis
