From Writer to Communicator

Hi everyone,
If you haven't heard about STC's initiative to broaden the definition of the "Technical Writing" profession, I encourage you to check out this article.

I certainly feel it's a necessary step, and more accurately defines the nature of the job.

Here's how STC would like the Government to define our career:

Develop and design instructional and informational tools needed to assure
safe, appropriate and effective use of science and technology, intellectual
property, and manufactured products and services. Combines multimedia
knowledge and strong communication skills with technical
expertise to educate across the entire spectrum of users’ abilities, technical
experience, and visual and auditory capabilities.
