Picture This and Take That: Strategic Crisis Visuals and Visual Social Media (VSM) in Crisis Communication
Yan Jin, Lucinda Austin, Jeanine Guidry, and Candace Parrish. “Picture This and Take That: Strategic Crisis Visuals and Visual Social Media (VSM) in Crisis Communication.” Accepted for presentation at the International Crisis and Risk Communication (ICRC) Conference, Orlando, FL, March 7-9, 2016
