Interpersonal violence is a violence that has increasingly occurred in our society and is often reported in the news. This interpersonal violence has become a concern in our society, which needs to be addressed to the community. Five components of interpersonal violence are comprised of youth violence, child maltreatment, intimate violence, elder abuse, and sexual violence. PR crisis management is an extremely tense fight to confront the situation. Online news has altered the practice of PR crisis management and changed the views of people. The purpose of conducting a study on this issue is to determine the PR crisis management of Malaysian independent online news in interpersonal violence cases. The objectives of this study are to study the crisis response, information-giving strategies, and reputational repair strategies used in interpersonal violence reporting in Malaysian independent online news. This study used quantitative content analysis by analyzing 140 news articles from two selected independent online news sources as the sample of this study. Two independent online news sources used in this study include Malaysiakini.com and Freemalaysiatoday.com. From this study, PR crisis management was being used to reduce the problem and presented how the interpersonal violence issue should be handled. This result can be used to plan future crisis management strategies for the same issue, which will help to reduce the intensity of people's reactions to the incidents and educate people on the consequences of these behaviors.
