Hello fellow public relations professionals and students.

My name is Heath Weber, and I am a graduate student within Ohio
State's School of Journalism and Communication and a public
relations professional at a major health benefits carrier. I'm
working with Dr. Susan Kline on a public relations study for my
Master's thesis at Ohio State University.

I posted a similar message in this group a few months back inviting
participation in the data collection for the study, but received
minimal participation. I have now made the questionnaire available
via the Web for your ease at the following URL:

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=15687256000

The questionnaire is designed to elicit your responses about
corporate crisis situations and the ways companies respond to these
crises. It contains a variety of items on which I ask you to rate
based upon the information given and your knowledge. Please
understand that there are no "right" or "wrong" answers, so if you
do elect to participate, please provide your honest responses.

You would, of course, also be providing data to further enhance our
field's research, which proves useful when it is applied to
practical events.

The questionnaire should take you about a half-hour to complete. I'd
be happy to send you a final version of my thesis if you participate
in the study. Just send me an e-mail at heath_weber@... and
let me know you participated via the Web survey.

Thank you for your time.
Heath Weber
