Use skilled communicators Sample Clauses

Use skilled communicators. The way to communicate information about IR needs more attention given the higher complexity compared to other risks, and should consider who, how and what is transmitted. The primary sources of information about IR are nevertheless the national authorities mandated for this, while TV remains the major communication channel, especially during crisis. In this particular situation, the spokesperson is the key actor and his or her performance depends on communication skills. Differently than communicating political messages, the spokesperson transmitting about IR should combine communication skills and technical knowledge in the field. Usually the institutional sources communicate through its high level representatives (Presidents, directors) and less through trained spokespersons. Therefore, we consider there is a good practice for a source: - when the mandated institution trains/hires persons able to combine technical knowledge and excellent communication skills; - when its representative and/or spokesperson is a person recognized by the general public as a trustworthy and competent person; - when the spokesperson has continuity in the institution and in the communication role in order to have time to gain the people’s trust and become familiar with the general public.
