Hello Joan,
Greetings from India!
The STC India Chapter newsletter, INDUS, recently won an Excellence award. I
think your students will surely get inspired by the layout and contents of
this newsletter. The newsletter is available online in PDF format at http://www.stc.org/region6/india/index.htm (click on the INDUS link). You
will need an Adobe Acrobat Reader for viewing the PDF file. A printed
version is also available. Frederick Menezes, the editor, has
single-handedly brought out the issues against great odds.
STC has several chapters and if you explore the chapter pages through the http://www.stc.org link you will find that most chapters have their own
newsletters. As these are produced by veteran technical writers, I would
regard them as the best of the best. This may also be a good starting
point.
