Damage control: Canadian University crisis management responses to sexual assault

Abstract

The current study investigates media coverage of two cases of sexual assault allegations involving university athletes through a qualitative content analysis of newspaper reports of each case. The highly divergent coverage of university responses to the incidents are discussed within established organizational crisis management frameworks of Image Restoration Theory and Situational Crisis Communication Theory. Recommendations are made for handling of future cases.
