PRovoke editor Arun Sudhaman sits down with Asia-Pacific correspondent David Blecken, who recently authored a two-part series on the communications challenges facing corporates and governments from the coronavirus crisis. The duo discuss the balance of internal and external comms as workplaces, supply chains and earnings are significantly disrupted, while also exploring the misinformation and opportunism that continue to bedevil responses. Blecken, who is based in Japan, also examines the marketing implications of cancelling the Tokyo Olympics.
