Strategic Communication Management

I have asked some hard questions which they sometimes could not answer really easily. With
the Pathé crisis situation the spokesmen told they were afraid of a bomb. They cleared the
area for a few hours. Afterwards they still kept Pathé closed. I asked why Pathé was still
closed, because if they would say that it was for further investigations I would have stated
that the lives of many were put at risk. They managed to answer that question in a great
clarifying way.
Also I stated that I heard rumours were going around that a countermovement was arising
that stated to ‘attack’ Pathé Tilburg if the movie did not return in theatres. If this might by
right, which side would you pick?
They didn’t manage to answer this question quickly and it wasn’t really satisfying me. They
stated that they made this choice out of safety, but by this countermovement it could get
unsafe again, if words are true.
Film Festival Berlin gave a very short press conference and stated that the attacks might
have come from North Korean terrorists and the moderator already stopped questioning
after 3 questions. That was a weird choice while a lot of people died in that specific crisis
situation.
I returned to Nu.nl with a nice headline for on the front cover stating: Berlin Film Festival goes
for North Korean approach, press is gagged!
I think crisis day was really worth it and I have learned a lot of it.
