%X In a between-subjects experiment (N = 88), participants who read about the ¡°FreshVeg, Inc. tomato crisis¡± were more likely to say they lost confidence in the product than were participants who read about the ¡°tomato crisis.¡± Interestingly, similar results were not seen regarding confidence in the company or other corporate perceptions. Overall, this study suggests limited effects of journalistic micro-frames during a public relations crisis. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed
