Crisis Media Support & Simulation
Testing Your Resilience
Redline is Dark Star Media’s flagship crisis and incident exercise programme — designed to push your team to the edge of real-time media pressure. The video below provides an overview of what we do - and shows the team in action.
Authentic Media Environments
Using modern digital technology and live online streaming, we recreate the energy and intensity of a real newsroom. Delegates take part in live TV and radio interviews, down-the-line reports, and dynamic broadcast backdrops, all delivered with BBC, ITV, and Sky-style authenticity.
Breaking News as It Happens
Our simulations are driven by fast-moving storylines that evolve as your team responds. Participants experience the pressure of live updates, reactive questions, and the rolling news cycle — plus YouTube feeds, podcasts and other online content.
The Social Media Firestorm
We amplify the challenge with bespoke news website front pages and our MockingBird social media emulator, blending our live content with yours. As the story spreads online, delegates face the escalating pace of a digital backlash — and learn to manage the heat.
Resilience Through Realism
Professional trainers with decades of broadcast and crisis communication experience, help Dark Star Media design and deliver Redline to strengthen your organisation’s response, sharpen your strategy, and build confidence under scrutiny. When the headlines hit, your team will be ready.
