CERT --- No, this is not ture at all. A CERT handles and responds to a cyber incident (technically), the media element comes into play if the incident becomes a crisis and there the CERT is again ONLY involved in the technical part of it. At this point you need cyber crisis management with experienced cyber crisis managers (states and companies might have a crisis management team and handbook), and they will coordinate with the communications liason and develop a strategy.
