Title: Evaluation of Research Trends in Crisis Communication Authors: Nwogwugwu, Daniel Abstract: An organization’s survival during a crisis often depends on its speed of response. The introduction of social media into crisis communication discourse has meant that organizations must revisit their crisis communication strategies. This chapter explores a content analysis of the integration of social media platforms into crisis communication based on a comprehensive review of eight purposively selected crisis studies conducted globally. Findings revealed that Facebook and Twitter are increasingly employed as platforms for crisis communication. It was also discovered that responding to crises promptly, and engaging with the publics before, during, and after crises are crucial to managing organizational reputation. Social media platforms are also capable of spreading mis(information) about crises. Thus, organizations are advised to fully integrate and adopt social media into their crisis communication plans. This chapter extends our understanding of how social media platforms contribute to crisis communication discourse.

Title: Determinants of Foreign News in Nigerian Newspapers Authors: Ajaegbu, O. A; Sodeinde, O. O; Nwogwugwu, D. Abstract: Every day, media professionals are saddled with the responsibility of determining and selecting news that makes it into the news bulletin. This results from limited space and time to consider the teeming number of reports on happenings. While several studies have examined the determinants of news, there is limited knowledge of the determinants of foreign news coverage in Nigerian newspapers. Therefore, this study investigates the determinants of news value of foreign news coverage among Nigerian newspapers to understand the most prominent news values published. The study was anchored on the gatekeeping and news value theory and content analysis method was employed as the methodology. The Vanguard and the Nigerian Tribune constituted the sample for this study and 2021 was the study year. Using Harcup and O‟Neil‟s (2016) revisited taxonomy of news values, foreign news reports of the selected newspapers were analysed. Findings showed that majority of the reports were in straight news format and most were on sports. This study concludes that newspaper organizations publish foreign reports based on availability and not necessarily any news criteria.
