Seeking media practitioners / scholars / experts on responding to a crisis

[Montgomery, Leigh]

Greetings friends: 

I am resending this with a different subject line, though not unrelated.  

Again: 

If you or anyone you know of research or a study about the role of local media in response to a crisis such as an extreme weather event or other extraordinary circumstance, please let me know.  

This is for a social science librarians boot camp panel about responding to extremes of all kinds and we wanted to have the media ecosystem be a component.  We are interested in finding someone who might be able to speak about this on Friday, June 7. 

I have a recommendation for Krystal Knapp of Planet Princeton (thanks Michelle!).  We will get in touch and seek some others. 

If you will be in the Boston area that weekend and would like to attend this camp, please check this site for updates:
