1. ISSUES MANAGEMENT In Social Media
AS YOU KNOW THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF CRISES
IN FACT – WE RECENTLY WITH THE HELP OF A CONSULTANT PERFORMED A GAP ANALYSIS UNIVERSITY-WIDE TO LOOK AT OUR CAPABILITIES IN CRISIS COMMUNICATIONS.
PART OF THAT ANALYSIS AND THE RECOMMENDED SOLUTIONS WILL OF COURSE INVOLVE SOCIA MEDIA. MORE WILL BE MENTIONED ABOUT THE ANALYSIS LATER.
HOWEVER, THIS SESSION IS NOT TO DISCUSS HOW TO USE SOCIAL MEDIA IN A CRISIS – IT’S ABOUT ADDRESSING ISSUES AND CRISIS THAT HAVE THE ABILITY TO TAKE OVER YOUR PLATFORMS

SOMETIMES THESE CRISIS ARE SELF-INFLICTED AND TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT, I WANT TO HIT ON A HIGH PROFILE EXAMPLE OF A SELF-INFLICTED CRISIS IN SOCIAL MEDIA.

MCDONALD’S pulled the campaign within two hours.
THEY discovered that crowd-sourced campaigns are hard to control (or stop).
The #McDStories hashtag STILL EXISTS.
“As Twitter continues to evolve its platform and engagement opportunities, we’re learning from our experiences

5. 3
Things Learned
If you want fan feedback, ask your fans – not Twitter.
Focus on what you need to promote (e.g. #supersize4free)
Avoid #hashtags that could be used ironically.
3 things to learn
1) ASK YOUR FANS -- Your biggest fans will give you the best feedback. Had McDonald’s asked its 13 million Facebook fans for their stories of joy and delight, perhaps it would have received them. If you’re going to use a promoted trend to ask Twitter to talk about you, you’re basically asking the whole world. And the world can be cruel.
2) DON’T BE VAGUE.
3) DON’T ENCOURAGE people to tweet about #MyGreatEXPERIENCE BECAUSE SOMEWHERE SOMEONE DID NOT HAVE A GREAT EXPERIENCE AND THEY ARE GOING TO TWEET ABOUT THEIR BAD EXPERENCE

Apparently this woman is employed here. And on these comments she is being horribly racist, I seriously would not want her working at a hospital where all kinds of races are taken care of. I think it's something worth looking in to.
Woowwww I can't believe someone who deals with the public, supposedly in a caring way, is posting racist things like this on Facebook.
Is this one of your employees? Are these type of people you guys have working for you?

Is this how you allow your employees to act? This will be sent to the NAACP let's see if we can get a boycott going on your company

Thank you for responding. I'm sure I'm not going to be the last person who contacts you about this matter. So I'll share this with others so they'll know that this(her) page is a fake.
And thank you for your timely and attentive response to this matter. I will continue to rock my Nittany Lions jacket with pride know that you don't condone this type of behavior. Again thank you for your time.

20. What we learned:
In the new digital online environment, we don’t have 24 hours to respond. We have less than 60 minutes.
Responses need to be authentic.
Speed is critical when developing and posting an official response.
Last, look for common ground opportunities to turn the anger into advocacy.
