      This site sponsors a social media conference each year, but only allows about 400 people to come to it to create a more individualized atmosphere. Seems like a neat idea.

      As a social media enthusiast, this point is SO SO SO important! If your mistake was on Facebook, you need to address it there first. That's where most of your audience who SAW this mistake is.

  • At some point, they or their company will screw up.
  • corporate executives must have a well thought out communications plan
  • Apologizing immediately shows that you acknowledge that something wrong has occurred. It does not equate to admitting any wrongdoing.
  • It’s important to be the first out of the gate to acknowledge the situation and its impact on the victims.
  • Respond where it happened.
  • If a company’s audience is active on Twitter, it should first communicate there and extend that communication to other platforms.
  • Committing to an investigation shows that the company is taking the issues seriously and equally important, it gives the company time to find out the relevant details of the problem while providing the public time to grieve knowing that there is some assurance that action will be taken.
  • Mistakes happen.

      The post with rules on the most current events is always at the top, so it's easy to find. It's a little annoying that there is no way to look at archived posts, but I think the blog might be fairly new.

    This is a blog run by editors at Gatehouse Newsroom. The rest of the website has a lot of resources for journalists, but the Editing Words blog is a great resource specifically for editors. They post AP Style rules and tips that pertain to current events, for example, the have a post explaining how to refer to "Obamacare" in stories.

    Ok, this seems obvious. Journalists are inherently bad at math, but we all should be able to calculate a person's age. And to be clear, I am capable of doing that math. But let's say you're looking at court or police documents and it only lists a person's date of birth. Did this person just have a birthday? Or is it still months away? I like to use this age calculator to double check that I have the age right. This is something that's incredibly easy to get wrong. It's also an incredibly stupid mistake. You're probably the only one that is going to double check this person's age. Get it right.

  • They became part of the story also.
