What are some considerations to remember given the different roles and principle in the audience? When a disaster occurs in a company, often times the perception of the accident may be portrayed exponentially negative per se, if the representatives of the company do not manage to "slow the fall" when giving the news to the people. While presenting the news to the audience, or those interested, related and/or involved with the accident, there are basic explicit considerations needed to remember. First of all, there are various audiences rather than one common solid audience.

First, the news need to be considerate and specific to the close relatives of the survivors. The families of the unfortunate miners are undergoing sorrow and suffering not knowing whether any instance, they may receive a call destroying all their hopes and prays to see their loved ones again.
