Discussion – Audience Types: Who do You Communicate with at Work?
This week’s reading identified four main types of audiences that technical writers often need to address:
-
- Experts
-
- Technicians
- Executives
- Nonspecialists
For this discussion, review the characteristics of each audience type. Next, let’s examine these audience-types in the context of a professional healthcare environment.
-
- Who are the experts, technicians, executives, and Non specialists that nurses most frequently communicate with? Come up with 1-2 examples for each type of audience.
-
- Which of these audience types do you think is easiest to communicate with as a nurse? Why?
- Which audience type seems most difficult to communicate with? Why?
- Finally, share one tip or strategy for effective communication with one of these audience-types.
I attached this week’s reading and also the ss for the instructions.
