In pitching the idea, I emphasized the success of the "Crisis of the Week" column in the Wall Street Journal, as well as the interest of major media outlets in New Zealand for commentary on topics related to Crisis Management. Academic experts in Crisis Management from most of the major universities in New Zealand have agreed to provide commentary for the column. In writing my column on Crisis Management, in addition to the benefits to academics and universities, I believe that the field of Public Relations can benefit as well through the potential for future increased collaboration between academics and practitioners. ./cache/cord-339855-oqe8rcbu.txt ./txt/cord-339855-oqe8rcbu.txt
