EAST PALESTINE DERAILMENT
How to host an arrest-free news briefing.
On February 8, a NewsNation reporter was arrested at a news briefing in East Palestine, Ohio, where a train derailment had occurred, resulting in the burning of toxic chemicals that created havoc for the small Ohio community.

Professionals who work crisis management often have to deal with tense media situations. So how can you keep that tension from escalating into confrontation?

Lots to unpack here today, so grab a pen and your note pad — and let’s dive in for some more PR learning love.
