Dependable, Crucial And Unwavering Corporate Writing

By Serena Price


You can see that if you are going to use evidence in the professional practice and corporate writing you need to seek out the best available information for your studies and practice. You also need to focus on the general aspect of the topic you are interested in so that you do not get sidetracked with more common information and therefore fail to identify what you really need to know. You also need to be selective about what you read, see and hear and be able to recognize good quality evidence when you come across it.

Some research from one source may contradict with those of another. There is such a vast amount of information out there that, without these skills, it is hard to know what to include in your academic assignments or how to incorporate new information into to the practice. It is easy to feel overwhelmed and you may discover that you make decisions in the particular professional practice or write such assignments based on inappropriate evidence.

Some journalists may have stricter editorial quality control than others and so may offer a higher standard of information but this still needs to be checked out. The internet contains many hundreds of millions of pages of information, including everything from rigorous research to trivia and misinformation.

Useful websites are likely to be those that are produced by a recognized professional body or client group. These might contain guidelines for practice, updates on professional issues and matters of concern to client groups. You will also see blogs and professional opinions which may offer fresh and rapidly changing information.

You should avoid just citing a name and a date in your work with no further reference to the type of proof you are referring to; otherwise your reader or listener cannot tell if you are using the best available references. It is important to use the right type of substantiation to back up your arguments.

Evaluate examples of how newspapers can use misleading statistics to promote a story. This should be enough of a warning against using media information in your professional work or any practice situation without seeking further information.

However, newspapers may provide useful background information. They might lead you to a controversial quotation to start your assignment or to get people thinking in a discussion. Potential clients might refer you to a research study, giving a snippet of information but not the full reference for the study, making it harder but possible to track it down.

In principle, you should avoid direct reference to articles in your written work or discussions at work unless you use them as a springboard for further inquiry or you are discussing their view or perspective on a topic. There may be many factors that have impacted on the development of your skills of corporate writing including your upbringing and both the content and design of any education or training that you have attended.
