Abstract
- Abstract: Given that public opinion about a company''s performance during a crisis is highly influenced by the way news media cover crisis events, studies that look at news media''s choice of crisis issues, tones and frames are extremely valuable. This paper presents the main findings of a study on how the Italian and international press framed the Italian national airline Alitalia and its crisis in 2008 before its privatization. This study is based on content analysis of news articles published in 2008 in two Italian and two international newspapers. Comparisons of crisis issues, tones and frames between the Italian and international press are made. Implications and recommendations for crisis managers are discussed as well as directions for further research. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
