They instead acknowledge the structural nature of mega-crises while putting at the center the role of communication to address these crises. The book considers the structural, social, political, economic, and cultural tenets of effective communication before and during mega-crisis events. It examines issues of leadership, inclusive messaging, and the politicization of risk, while addressing emerging challenges like the impact of AI and misinformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is suited to advanced students and scholars within crisis communication, emergency management, public health, public administration, and interdisciplinary studies, and will be of interest to researchers in the public policy and community building arenas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Deborah Sellnow-Richmond,Marta Lukacovic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1041007469\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781041007463\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/10\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Deborah Sellnow-Richmond","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48137163899135,"sku":"9781041007463","price":57.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d4c04776-24af-4c08-a544-48eb7df805a3.jpg?v=1770166979","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/communication-amid-mega-crises-deborah-sellnow-richmond-9781041007463","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
