RE: Define technical communicator's job

["Sean Brierley" <sbrierley -at- Accu-Time -dot- com>]

A technical communicator creates communication that is clear, concise,
comprehensive, accurate, correct, accessible, accurate, and
professional, using a variety of methods, tools, and technologies, that
can include writing, illustration, photography, video, and sound, for a
variety of static and dynamic deliverables, including print media and
online media.

What about that?

Cheers,

Sean

What items do you suggest adding? I'm advocating shortening it! ;-)

This is a standard job statement, meaning something on the books as a
commonly understood definition of what a technical writer is.
