| After the Tsunami: Crisis Communication in Finland and Sweden |
|
The tsunami disaster in Southeast Asia during Christmas 2004 caused many deaths among vacationers from Finland and Sweden. This book examines how this dramatic and unexpected event affected public communication patterns and practices in countries like Finland and Sweden. The Asian tsunami could be described as one of the worst catastrophes experienced during the post-war period in these countries, responsible for more Finnish deaths than any single incident since World War II while more Swedes lost their lives in Southeast Asia than in the sinking of the ferry Estonia in the Baltic Sea in 1994. The communicative relations between government actors, the media and citizens always significantly affect the development of crucial democratic values such as trust, accountability and legitimacy. The book covers different topics related to this issue, such as strategic political communication, media coverage, newsroom practices, public opinion and the use of new media in Finland and Sweden after the tsunami disaster.
