Quoted in Technical Writing Careers Blurb in U.S. News & World Report

U.S. News & World Report article

Today a reader said he found me through an article in the May issue of U.S. News & World Report. I couldn’t find the link to the article online yet. But if you click the image on the right, you can read a scanned copy in PDF format that the reader sent me.

I don’t say anything that interesting or revelatory in the short blurb, but it’s cool to see journalists turning to bloggers for information like this. The reporter could have called the STC, and I did refer her to the STC as well, but I gave her something a little more quotable.

Length: 15 min.

In this brief podcast, I discuss the results of the podcast poll that I published on my site earlier this week. I mostly wanted an opportunity to try out my new Behringer mixer/preamp, and the results of the poll served as perfect fodder for a podcast. In this 15 minutes of audio, I explain the direction that I plan to take my podcast based on the votes and feedback.

Polls, surveys, and feedback are always a good thing. They help me understand not only what my audience values, but what I value too. Thanks for participating.
