Executive summary: Communication practices in existential risk organizations are often underdeveloped due to lack of intentional strategies, resource constraints, and talent bottlenecks, but there are opportunities for improvement through better goal-setting, coordination, and targeted funding.
Key points:
Organizations with clearer overall goals tend to have more effective communication strategies.
Talent shortages in communications roles stem from funding constraints and limited hiring pools.
Many organizations desire greater coordination of communication efforts within the existential risk space.
Resource limitations prevent organizations from conducting audience research and producing high-quality multimedia content.
Communication work is often done by EA-aligned staff, potentially creating friction with non-EA audiences.
Recommendations include developing intentional communication strategies, expanding hiring practices, and increasing funding for dedicated communications roles and research.
