There is rarely one thing that makes crisis communication effective. Success comes from bringing together people, processes, decisions and communication. underpressure.substack.com/p/not-just-o...

As we head into what could be a very challenging winter, take a look at your organisation's crisis comms strategy and approach and ask: - does everyone know what is in it? - when was the last time we tested it? Have a good week

When did we stop calling lies "lies"? Words like "misspoke" and "untruth" are appearing. But do these terms clarify what happened, or help us avoid confronting it? My latest blog explores language, accountability and Orwell's enduring relevance. amandacomms1.wordpress.com/2026/08/09/w...
