When patients have to be told they may have been exposed to an infection, how the news reaches the media shapes how well the message lands. A key question in any such crisis: is this the right way to release the information? Some of this guidance is written for people new to communications work.
Choosing the level of media outreach
| Option | Best for | Keep in mind |
|---|---|---|
| Press conference or telebriefing | large, long notifications; when affected people can't be reached by mail or phone; when heavy media interest is expected | answers everyone's questions once, so reporters get a consistent message |
| Digital press kit (alongside) | notifications expected to last more than a week or two | used during the 2012 fungal meningitis outbreak, which lasted several months — see CDC's archived press kit |
| Press release or press statement | smaller notifications | be ready to follow up with reporters one by one |
| Targeted telebriefing | small, local notifications | contact 3–5 key local reporters |
Joint press conferences
A press conference gets harder when several organizations share the investigation, each with its own role. If you hold one together:
- make sure everyone agrees on the wording of the talking points;
- settle in advance who will answer which topics in the question-and-answer session.
