The View from Cision
"Responding quickly and proactively in a crisis is key to minimising negative coverage.
Uber’s statement was message-rich and had good pick up in the media, meaning it came off better than the likes of T-Mobile.
“A key learning is to not be afraid to respond again when another brand’s crisis means yours is being referenced once more.
"Getting a fresh message-rich statement out identifying new processes and plans takes slightly negative content to balanced or even slightly positive.."
