Hello,
First of all, I would like to thank you all for the interesting and
sometimes entertaining information you post on this list.
I am a graduate student working on a major paper and thesis at the same
time. I am investigating the role that public relations plays in a tech
writer's job. More specifically, I have been reading material that promotes
technical writers helping the company out when it comes to public relations
writing - especially for technical press releases.
Do any of you have experience in public relations? Have you ever been asked
to step in and help with press releases or other public relations projects?
In your opinion, would technical writers benefit from public relations
training in addition to technical writing training?
Thank you in advance for your help!
