#181772 - Often the strange texts comes directly from press releases Responding to: ???'s previous message |

I cringe every time a non-technical reporter attempts to explain technical terms to a non-technical audience. Often, it isn't a non-technical reporter that makes the attempt, but a brain-dead marketing person at the company. Note that most reporters just selects what sentences to keep/remove from the press releases the companies sends out. And these press releases often have very strange content. Sometimes because the person who writes them doesn't really know anything about the subject. Sometimes because they haven't figured out who the target reader is. A technical press release doesn't work well in a stock-market paper, and reverse. |
