I can't be the only tech writer around here who was a journalism major
in college....
You know, they *do* make you take a lot of other writing and
communication classes for a journalism degree. It's not like colleges
teach you paparazzi techniques or how to fudge a source. We were even
taught how to figure out how to write for your audience since different
print sources all have their own audience (liberal, conservative, etc.).
