Crisis news story statistics continued their postpandemic shuffle with some surprises revealed in the 2023 numbers. The Institute for Crisis Management® (ICM) tallied 1,977,722 crisis news stories in 2023, a decrease of about nine percent over 2022 in a retreat towards pre-pandemic story numbers. COVID-19 stories continued to make some headlines, but not nearly to the extent of the previous three years. The volume of sudden versus smoldering crisis stories migrated back toward the 2020 levels with a nearly 50/50 split. Just five of the 16 categories tracked had a lower result than the previous year: casualty accidents, consumerism/activism, executive dismissals, sexual harassment and whistleblowers.
