"L'époque n'a jamais été aussi propice aux jeux d'influence. Face aux crises auxquelles le dirigeant doit faire face, l'attaque informationnelle prend aujourd'hui le dessus. Qu'elle soit intentionnelle ou opportuniste, elle peut faire des dégâts significatifs sur la très précieuse réputation

Au regard des capacités critiques qu'offrent notamment les réseaux sociaux, la suspicion envers la nouveauté tend à avoir force de loi : il ne s'agit donc plus de réagir mais de disposer de plans préalablement établis pour contrer une opération d'influence susceptible d'être subie. Dans cette perspective, ce mémento propose une méthode de planification d'une opération de contre-influence sur la base des risques informationnels possibles au lancement d'un produit ou d'un service. Un cas pratique est étudié pour une entreprise fictive spécialisée dans l'intelligence artificielle et mettant un ouvre un projet révolutionnaire d'avatars 3D au profit du consommateur à la maison ou du professionnel sur son lieu de travail."

However, people are becoming complacent and risk perceptions are lowering. In general, people are feeling less confident in what they can do to control the virus. As the pandemic becomes more protracted, pandemic fatigue is increasing. The growing fatigue, the stress caused by uncertainty, lowering risk perceptions and reducing trust in government responses, is taking its toll on the fabric of our communities." (Executive summary)

e best opportunities for developing drone journalism are in those countries that respect human rights, freedom of the press, and the right to obtain information. There are certainly a great many countries that bear little or no such respect, and also those where legal scholarship, as well as initial practical cases on this subject, are still developing. The ethical codes are also still under construction. The basics of journalism ethics are, indeed, very valid when practicing drone journalism. In addition, the discussion of drone journalism ethics has so far mainly focused on safety and privacy issues, with more analysis needed of the ways in which background information and context can be included by reporters using drones."

Taking a wider view than a single country’s perspective, the text contains a cross-cultural and cross-country approach. In addition, the case studies offer valuable lessons that organizations that wish to operate or are operating in those cultures can adopt in preparing and managing crises. The book highlights recent crisis events such as Syria’s civil war, missing Malaysia Flight MH370, andJapan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant disaster. Each of the case studies examines how culture impacts communication and responses to crises." (Publisher description)

lved legacies of war. They ranged from political clashes, government crises, through crisis involving citizen protests or pertaining to response to natural disasters, to refugee crises. As indicated by the national reports from five successor states of the former Yugoslavia (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Montenegro, Kosovo and Serbia) and Albania, in the analysed cases of crises, the media largely failed to fulfil their public service role and to an extent did just the opposite, providing sensationalistic stories, favouring particular sources (mainly official ones, from one political faction or one ethno-national group), sometimes accentuating security threats and possible conflicts, or simply by failing to provide relevant information or in-depth analysis necessary for substantive understanding of related public interest issues. In this research we start from the assumption that weaknesses of the media sector manifest themselves with particular severity in crisis situations. We also recognize the pivotal role of media in what the dominant framing of the crises is, by which they can contribute to, or thwart, democratic communication. The experience of media in former Yugoslavia in the 1990 is a reminder of how devastating the consequences can be." (Pages 2-3)
