In this episode of PR in the Real World, Professor. Lucy Easthope, the UK’s leading voice in disaster recovery and crisis response, shares what truly matters when tragedy hits. It’s all about language, dignity and the ‘helicopter view’ comms teams need beyond perfect wording. Lucy unpacks ‘Hopium’, truth vs trust, the legal cliff-edge after crises and how to train braver, more human crisis comms for a 24/7 world.
