Instructions This exercise asks you to write a single, brief paragraph. It should not take the form of a larger document, such as a letter, an email, a report, or a plan. Submit 1 paragraph with no more than 250 words. In order to write your paragraph, complete the following steps: 1. Read the article. Although it is written for public and media relations professionals, it also is useful to digital, corporate, non-profit, health, and political communicators. 2. Consider the following crisis. It is April 20, 2010. You are the Communication Director for the company BP. You have just learned that an explosion occurred on an oil rig called the Deepwater Horizon, killing an unspecified number of people and causing crude oil to start spilling into the Gulf of Mexico. 3. Assume you are writing to the Chief Executive Officer for the company BP. 4. Present one specific recommendation for how your company should communicate about the event to a stakeholder, ensuring your recommendation incorporates the advice in the article. (You do not have to conduct research to complete this assignment.) In addition, describe the specific arguments that you would use to convince the Chief Executive Officer that your recommendation would be effective in reaching the stakeholder. Note that your paragraph will represent one idea that could be part of a larger document with additional ideas. This exercise is not asking you to write the entire document; instead, it is looking for a sample of what could be part of the larger document. 5. Limit your writing to 1 paragraph that is double-spaced and contains no more than 250 words. Start the paragraph by presenting your recommendation. Then use the rest of your paragraph to describe your arguments that justify your recommendation. vD9:@Fv9L9Q8w EGCCM9L9UAB8EB9xCDz9A9y>GM9L9aD>V8GE>B|9Q>G8?BCG|9L9JCDBA?B 9 9 _[ I`]j 9 YZ[]^[_`ab]cd`efaZgh]egi]j Zkk[gabefaZgh]j Zkk[gafl slBCDE9L9F[m`]9L9ZheW9 oVig[VG Teh`]`]mYoVd`]he^YH]gicjVj o`WbYBCDEYsVdVe^b`pG 6789:;?9@8=AB>CDE9FBGAB8H>EB 9I9J;GG8DB9KEE;89L96789:;?9@8=AB>CDE9FBGAB8H>EB 9I9F;MM8G9NOPN9KEE;8 JG;?>A=9JCMM;D>?AB>CDE9Q;G>DH9A9JG>E>ER9Suv9w>B79x8=>C9yG8z wAG?>A Ie[hjV]Yl[ceY^J`iiY^VWYU`WbYhggV^^YW[ [eVYWbh]YKXYi`aVYh]jY[]LjVh]j UVd`]he^Y`]YMXNFG H[ `]YT[jhlG XYZ[\V]W^ 234566378 8 TUVVW 5 11 x;D89Nyz9NOPN yCG9MCG89B7AD9{O9|8AGEz9x8=>C9yG8z9wAG?>A97AE978=y8z9?C;DE8= JzNE9ADz9=AGH89?CGyCGAB>CDE9B7GC;H79?G>E>E9E>B;AB>CDEO9x89>E ?;GG8DB=|9B789yG8E>z8DB9CP9B789Q8w9RCGSTE>E MADAH8M8DB9P>GM9UCHCE9JCDE;=B>DH9wGC;yO9wAG?>A9A=EC9E8GV8E9AE B7898W8?;B>V89z>G8?BCG9PCG9B789UCHCE9KDEB>B;B89PCG9JG>E>E XADAH8M8DB9u9zW8?;B>V89U8Az8GE7>yO YKP9|C;9?ADZB9?CMM;D>?AB898PP8?B>V8=|z9|C;9w>==9DCB9=8Azz[9wAG?>A EA|E9>D97>E9=AB8EB9?AB>CDO[9x8G8978 BA=SE9w>B796789FBGAB8H>EB9ADH9A ?G>E>E9E>B;AB>CD9>E9?CDB>DH8DB9CD97>E9CG978G9A=>B|9BC9?CMM;D>?AB8O _`aV]YWbVY]cdVeY[fY^[g`hiYj`^WehgW`[]^kYb[UYgh]YiVhjVe^ [^WYVffVgW`aVilYV]mhmVYh]Yhcj`V]gVYW[jhln FC?>A=9M8z>A97AE9CB8GAB8z9B789z>EB>D?B>CD9DE>z89ADz9C;BE>z8z9>DB8GDA=9?CMM;D>?AB>CD9ADz98WB8GDA= ?CMM;D>?AB>CDz9y;?9ADz9yG>VAB8O9QCw z9MCG89B7AD98V8Gz9=8Az8GE9D88z9BC9?9>D97Cw 9B78|9AyyGCA?79B78>G S8|9A;z>8D?8EO9zPP8?B>V8=|98DHAH>DH9w >B79S8|9A;z>8D?8E9>E9DC9=CDH8G9A9D>?8TBCT7AV89;A=>B|]9>BZE9A9M;EBT7AV8O ^ 78B78G9>B9w AE9?CDP8G8D?89?A==E9N59|8AGE9AHCz9CG9V>z8C?CDP8G8D?>DH9P59|8AGE9AHCz9CG9W9|8AGE9AHCz9CG96w >BB8G B7G889|8AGE9AHC9I9DH9z>EBGA?B8z9;Mz9D88zE9BC9G8?B8z9AB9B789?7ADH89B789=8Az8G9w ADBE9BC98PP8?B9>D9B789A;z>8D?8O oblY`^Yih]mchmVY^cgbYhYp[UVefciYiVhjVe^b`pYj`^g`pi`]Vn JCMM;D>?AB>CD97AE9yCw 8Gz9S89AD|9yCw 8GP;=9BCC=z9>B9D88zE9BC9V8=|9CG9>B9?AD9?A;E89E8=PT>DP=>?B8z 7AGMO9xAGD8EE>DH9B789yCw 8G9CP9?CMM;D>?AB>CD9>E9A9P;DzAM8DBA=9=8Az8GE7>y9z>E?>y=>D8O JCMM;D>?AB>CD9>E9B789?CDB>D;AB>CD9CP9D8EE9DV8EB9AE9M;?79B>M89AB9H8BB>DH9HCCz AB9?CMM;D>?AB>CD9AE9B78|9zC9AB9B789MCG89;ADB>BAB>V89CG9B8?7D>?A=98=8M8DBE9CP9B78>G9_CM8z9P;DzAM8DBA==|9M>E;Dz8GEBADz9?CMM;D>?AB>CDO9ND89G8AECD ECM89=8Az8GE9M>E;Dz8GEBADz9?CMM;D>?AB>CD9>E9B7AB9B78|9B7>DS9B78|ZG89A=G8Az|9HCCz9AB9>BO9678|ZV89DH9E>D?8 DH9E>D?89AH89`9CG95z9w G>B>DH9E>D?89ECCD9APB8G9B7ABO9aD=>S89_;EB9AE?>y=>D89=8Az8GE97AV897Az9BC9MAEB8Gz9B78|ZV89?AB>DH9B78>G9w 7C=89=>V8EO K97AV89PC;Dz9B7AB9MAD|9=8Az8GE9E;PP8G9?AG88GTz8P>D>DH9CD9D8AG=|9AE E8G>C;E=|9AE9B78|9BAS89MCEB9CB78G98=8M8DBE9CP9B78>G9_CDS9CP9b:ZE9cDCw 9PCGM8G9JzNd96CD|9xA|w AGz9ADz9YKZz9=>S8 M|9=>P89V89=8Az8GE9E889?CMM;D>?AB>CD9AE9A9?G>B>?A=9yGCP8EE>CDA=9AyB>B;z89ADz9w CGS97AGz9AB9H8BB>DH9>B9G>H7BO obhWYheVY^[VYUhl^YWbhWYiVhjVe^Ygh]YVqph]jYWbV`eYU[eija`VUYh]jY^VVYWbV`eYdc^`]V^^Yfe[Y^[V[]VYVi^Vr^ pVe^pVgW`aVn aDz8GEBADz>DH9AD9A;z>8D?89>E9?G>B>?A=9>D9CGz8G9PCG9=8Az8GE9BC9>DEy>G89BG;EB9ADz9?CDP>z8D?8O Kz8A==|9=8Az8GE97AV89z>G8?B98Wy8G>8D?89w >B79B789EBAS87C=z8GE9B78|9D88z9BC9?CDD8?B9w >B79I9B78|9V>E>B9w >B798My=C|88Ez w >B79>DV8EBCGEz9w >B79D8EE9yAGBD8GEz9w >B79?;EBCM8GEO9K97AV89CD89?=>8DBz9B789JzN9CP9A9H=C?A= ?CMyAD|z9w 7C9G8=C?AB8z97>E98DB>G89?CGyCGAB8978Az;AGB8GE9BC9F7ADH7A>9PCG9A9MCDB7O9x897Az9A==97>E9z>G8?B9G8yCGBE M88B9w >B797>M9B78G8O967>E98Wy8G>8D?8978=y8z97>E9?CMyAD|9B79B789?;=B;G8z9?;EBCM8G MAB89ADz98My=C|889yCy;=AB>CD9>D9B7>E9?CMyAD|ZE9S8|9HGCw B79MAGS8BO U8Az8GE9A=EC9D88z9BC9E88S9B789?C;DE8=9CP9B7CE89w 7C9>DB8GA?B9w >B79?CMyAD|9EBAS87C=z8GE9A==9CP9B789B>M8O967>E9>E9A9?CG8 yAGB9CP9B789y;?9G8=AB>CDE9yGA?B>B>CD8GZE9G8EyCDE>=>B|R9BC9D9B789w A|9EBAS87C=z8GE9B7>DSz9w 7AB9B78|9P88=z 7Cw 9B78|9MAS89z8?>E>CDE9ADz9w 7AB9MABB8GE9BC9B78MO 6AS>DH9EBAS87C=z8GE9E8G>C;E=|9G8;>G8E9A9?8GBA>D9G8Ey8?B9PCG9B78>G9yC>DB9CP9V>8w O9KB9G8;>G8E9?;G>CE>B|9ADH9w 7AB9>B9BAS8E9BC9w >D9B78M9CV8G9ADz9BC9S88y9B78>G9BG;EB9ADz9?CDP>z8D?8O zPP8?B>V89=8Az8GE9ADz9B78>G9y;?9G8=AB>CDE9?C;DE8=CGE9?CDD8?B9w >B79A;z>8D?8E9DH9w 7AB9MABB8GE9BC bZgmdfdi]_l]nd_o^pqjZgmdfrbZk zPP8?B>V89=8Az8GE9ADz9B78>G9y;
