Social Sciences - Psychology / crisis communication text

German term or phrase: Kommunikationsleitung

Dies führt nicht selten zum Amtsverlust, weil Anspruchsgruppen wie Aktionäre, Politik und Gesellschaft zusammen mit Medien Kontrollorgane zu Handeln zwingen. Deshalb behandelt ein gewissenhafter Krisenkommunikator den Faktor Moral im vorderen Teil mindestens ein Mal. Es muss zwingend sichergestellt sein, dass Anwaltsschreiben oder ähnliche Dokumente nur nach Freigabe durch die Kommunikationsleitung das Haus verlassen. Erfahrungsgemäß sind solche (juristisch korrekten) Schreiben oft ein gefundenes Fressen für die Medien.

CCO Chief Communications Officer

Explanation:
Likely the most general (and commonly used) job title for someone responsible for all outside communications, i.e. with customers, public affairs, press releases, info-sharing with other companies, compliance with government reporting rules, etc. Approval of PR activities is just part of this person's remit.
The Google link will show you that this title is in common use and the Wikipedia article. You can also have another main job title and still be called the CCO.

Note added at 2 days8 hrs (2011-12-23 16:18:26 GMT)

...and the Wikipedia article's first sentence is: "The CCO of a company is the corporate officer primarily responsible for managing the communications risks and opportunities of a business, both internally and externally."
