This is my first blog post on this blog, set up to discuss and gather data regarding my BA (Hons) Public Relations Dissertation. I am in the final year of my degree, studying at the University of Central Lancashire.
My research is related to the area of crisis communication and online public relations, a 15 minute questionnaire has been designed to gain results. The study I am conducting aims to discover how and why various Internet methods (eg. blogs and social networking sites etc) are used by individuals to communicate with online during a crisis. My research specifically focuses on the crisis of Baby P, and also aims to establish how individuals have found using the Internet useful during this crisis.
This study therefore requests to hear from individuals who have an interest (professional or otherwise) or in the social work/social services and welfare sector and the case of Baby P.
