Spokesperson Selection for Crisis Communication

Main Article Content

Thanasin Chutintaranond

Abstract

The selection of spokespersons for communication in crisis situations is a very necessary process for the organization in order to prepare its readiness for confrontation with crisis situations. The selection process should be undertaken systematically with consideration of two components, namely, basic qualifications and communication competence as selection criteria. Organizations may use a communication competence measurement form along with in-depth interview, simulation, and role play as selection methods. Communication administrators and human resource administrators of the organization should provide an opportunity for speech communication experts to be members of the selection committee in order to help in the selection of the right “personal media” to become the right spokesperson for communication in crisis situations.
