Nia Bennett: Public-interest communications practitioner
She starts with what people need to decide, not what the organization wants praised.
In the room
Gia wants a statement that sounds reassuring. Nia asks what someone who already left home needs to know right now.
The idea they bring
A reassuring tone cannot replace useful information about status, uncertainty and next steps.
Try it with the crew
Draft an update for one affected person with a specific practical question.
Keep the limits in view
She offers a communication perspective, not a guarantee that a message will repair trust.
