Is there anything that you think the ALS Association could have improved upon with their response? If so, what?

2. Do you think the ALS Association should have been more active on social media rather than traditional news media, given that's where the challenge started?

3. What do you think about people deeming the Ice Bucket Challenge 'slacktivism'? Is there a way to have a viral social media challenge that isn't a form of 'slacktivism'?]]> 2022-09-29 15:11:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jrcommdoc/PRCases_Media_Relations_Fall22/wish/2319590824 Case Study Visual madisonali12 https://padlet.com/jrcommdoc/PRCases_Media_Relations_Fall22/wish/2319853170 2022-09-29 17:43:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jrcommdoc/PRCases_Media_Relations_Fall22/wish/2319853170 Presentation Video Link madisonali12 https://padlet.com/jrcommdoc/PRCases_Media_Relations_Fall22/wish/2319855167 2022-09-29 17:45:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jrcommdoc/PRCases_Media_Relations_Fall22/wish/2319855167 Discussion Questions madisonali12 https://padlet.com/jrcommdoc/PRCases_Media_Relations_Fall22/wish/2319860300 1.

1. Social media was not an organizational tactic used in either case. If it were, would the positive media coverage have stayed the same?
2. The media kits were filled with various resources (fact sheets, videos, and photos). Did they have too much information? Or is it important to provide as much information as possible?
3. Cleveland Clinic offered access to its doctors, nurses, staff, and medical facilities to National Geographic. In the medical profession, are there risks of giving a program this much freedom?

I agree that in most cases a humorous tone is not also beneficial as it can come off as not taking the situation seriously. It seemed to work here because no one was injured or physically or mentally harmed in this crisis, but it was more of a presentation failure.

I think that Chevrolet could have done a briefing with Rikk beforehand to better prepare him for his presentation. I have learned in my PR internship that a briefing book is essential for spokespeople or company employees before an interview to provide them with all the necessary information on important topics. If Chevrolet had worked with Rikk to better prepare him to discuss the car, this would have gone a lot better. While it could have just been nerves that led to him stumbling over his words, had he been more prepared it could have made him less nervous. mauritajeffery1 https://padlet.com/jrcommdoc/PRCases_Media_Relations_Fall22/wish/2332066698 2022-10-08 17:51:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jrcommdoc/PRCases_Media_Relations_Fall22/wish/2332066698 mauritajeffery1 https://padlet.com/jrcommdoc/PRCases_Media_Relations_Fall22/wish/2332073407 I do think that ALS should have been more active on social media regarding the challenge. While they were active in sending out press and news releases, and also participating in interviews, those outlets may have less interaction than a social media post would have been. A lot of younger people participated in this challenge and unless they were avid news readers, there was a lot chance that they would actually see anything released by ALS. ]]> 2022-10-08 18:05:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jrcommdoc/PRCases_Media_Relations_Fall22/wish/2332073407 alexandrarossi11 https://padlet.com/jrcommdoc/PRCases_Media_Relations_Fall22/wish/2332185915 Great presentation! Chevrolet could have made sure Rikk Wilde knew what he was talking about by having him practice what he was gonna say multiple times. They could have made sure he was professional about what he was saying.
I think that Chevrolet’s tone/voice was beneficial in their communication tactics because it made them look more personable and show that they can bounce back from something rather than become embarrassed about the situation. They made it look more positive than negative which I think is risky, but in the end very beneficial for the brand. If I were looking for a car in 2015, I believe this incident would push me into buying a Chevrolet Colorado rather than deter me.

I think the ALS Association should have been more active or involved in their responses. I feel as though they were receiving attention that they were not necessarily working for. I think they definitely should have been more active on social media as that is where the people that were giving the organization attention were on there. How are they to reach the audience they desire without being active on the media in which those people use the most. I believe slacktivism can be brought up around many things that happen on social media nowadays. While I agree that it is fair for people to deem the Ice Bucket Challenge ‘slacktivism’, people or brands in general get famous for absolutely no reason and they do not even do anything.]]> 2022-10-08 23:38:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jrcommdoc/PRCases_Media_Relations_Fall22/wish/2332189897 alexandrarossi11 https://padlet.com/jrcommdoc/PRCases_Media_Relations_Fall22/wish/2332193784 Hi London, great analysis! Unfortunately, I do not think the positive media coverage would have stayed the same if social media was an organizational tactic. People on social media are very critical and overanalyze every situation. The possibilities of what can happen on social media seem endless. I believe it is important to include as much information as possible to ensure that something isn’t misinterpreted or misunderstood in general. Yes, I feel as though publicizing things in the medical field could somehow break the confidentiality barrier that is put into place in this field.]]> 2022-10-08 23:54:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jrcommdoc/PRCases_Media_Relations_Fall22/wish/2332193784 https://padlet.com/jrcommdoc/PRCases_Media_Relations_Fall22/wish/2354777439 Hello Madison
Regarding the first query, I believe if Chevrolet may have even prepped Rikk Wilde more thoroughly before the briefing, there would have been a very different outcome. Chevy ought to have had Wilde prepare his speech with the PR staff. Chevrolet might have chosen a different speaker if Wilde felt uncomfortable appearing in front of an audience. Chevy is not actually at fault.

I don't believe the ALS Association could have responded any better, and I consider what they accomplished to excellent. I just think they would have benefitted from using  social media more frequently. They could have had a great chance to promote and sell business at this time. However, I believe they lost out on the possibility to expand their social media following by sticking with conventional news sources.

A highly instructive talk and a fascinating case study. I think implementing social media as a strategy in this case would surely lead to concerns. Given that they still wouldn't have regulated social media, I doubt that the media exposure might have remained the same and likely turned bad in some way.
Social media may have turned the situation into an unrestricted situation with a lack of control over what was ultimately shared. Additionally, given all of their communication methods, it wouldn't appear as sophisticated.
