Background of the Study
Crisis communication is an essential part of business continuity planning, particularly in industries where public perception and media relations are critical. For media firms, effective crisis communication strategies ensure that they maintain trust, protect their reputation, and manage negative situations that may arise from internal or external factors (Nwachukwu & Olayinka, 2024). In Katsina State, where media firms play an influential role in shaping public opinion, crisis communication strategies can be pivotal in ensuring business continuity during difficult times, such as reputational issues, legal challenges, or operational disruptions.
Given the increasing frequency of crises in the media sector—ranging from data breaches to negative publicity—media firms must develop comprehensive crisis communication plans to mitigate risks and maintain public confidence (Adeyemi & Salawu, 2023). This study seeks to assess the crisis communication strategies employed by media firms in Katsina State, examining their effectiveness in ensuring business continuity during crises.
Statement of the Problem
While crisis communication is widely acknowledged as crucial to business continuity, there is limited research focusing on how media firms in Katsina State handle communication during crises. Many media firms may lack structured crisis communication plans, leading to delays in responding to crises, confusion in public messaging, and damage to the firm’s reputation. An assessment of existing strategies and their effectiveness is necessary to guide the development of better crisis communication practices in the region (Kazeem & Nwokolo, 2023).
