A few don’ts
• Don’t speculate: – Don’t answer hypothetical questions– Don’t comment on investigations or court cases
• Don’t make up answers– “I don’t know. But what I do know is…”– “Let me get back to you with that information.”

A few don’ts
• Don’t feel compelled to fill the silence
• Don’t offer opinion that differs from your organization’s position
• Better ways to say “No comment”
