Your boss is running out the door and quickly delegates an assignment to you. She needs you to communicate some bad news to a number of people at different geographic locations. Though she wants the message spread instantaneously, she wants to give the audience time to carefully consider a response. It's also a priority to her that the message doesn't come across as impersonal or evasive. After she's left you realize that she didn't specify which medium she wants you to use for the message. Taking her considerations into account, you determine that ________ would be an appropriate medium.
