Over 30 Workers Trapped After Chilean Copper Mine Collapse

Resource: “Over 30 Workers Trapped After Chilean Copper Mine Collapse” article found in the Electronic Reserve Readings.
Research additional articles and information about the Chilean mine collapse.
Write a 700- to 1,050-word paper using this and other articles as a resource. Because communications must be designed with the audience in mind, answer the following questions:
•    What are some considerations to remember given the different roles and people in the audience?
o    What would be the potential needs of the families of the miners in receiving a message about this incident?
o    What would be the potential needs of the company’s employees when receiving a message about this incident?
•    What actions must you take before and after the message is delivered to ensure that it was received as intended?
After answering the above questions, draft and include TWO communications from the mining company announcing the accident, using what you have learned about the audience and effective

messages. One communication should be directed to the families of the trapped miners and the other as an internal news release to employees in the company. For both, identify the most

appropriate channel—face-to-face, e-mail, video, memo, and so on. This part should appear at the end of the 700-1050 word paper, but prior to the Reference Page.
Format your paper according to APA standards. Remember to use at least 2 different sources and that the CWE generated Plagiarism Checker report is required. Finally, please name your actual

file “Audience_YourLastName”.
