[WEBINAR] When a crisis becomes a battlefield of opinion: finding the balance between facts and emotion - with Andrew Griffin

Crisis communication expert, Andrew Griffin, discusses how finding the balance between science and emotion, between hard facts and compelling stories, has long been a challenge of crisis communication.
