Yikes!

Crisis management is a fundamental part of public relations. Some professionals specialize in this area however, no public relations practitioner wants their client to be stuck in this predicament. Unfortunately, entertainment public relations agents often find themselves having to deal with the mistakes their clients make. Take Lindsey Lohan for example. She has had to hire a team of crisis management specialists in order to deal with all the negative publicity she’s faced in the past few months.

While going through my classmates blogs, I came across Lisa Perez’s blog. In it, she attaches a link to the "Lohan Rollercoaster" . This describes Lohan’s ups and downs over the past year. It’s almost a humorous link…well humorous to the mass public, not humorous if she is your client. No entertainment public relations practitioner wants their client to be the subject of such negativity.

Since Lohan has had the need for so much crisis management, Ashley’s blog deals with crisis management . In it, she attaches links and articles to help one learning the basics of crisis management and the best ways to deal with certain situations. Ashley blog assists those in need of the proper guidance of what to do, when a crisis hits.

All entertainment public relations professionals must know how to deal with crisis management. Lisa and Ashley both give prime examples of a client undergoing scrutiny, and then how it should be handled.
