From newsletters to press releases, social media marketing and advertising to virtual presentations and interactions via e-mail and instant messaging, digital writing intertwines and affects the day-to-day running of the company--yet we rarely pay enough attention to it. Typing on the screen can become particularly problematic because digital text-based communication increases the opportunities for misunderstanding: it lacks the direct audiovisual contact and the norms and conventions that would normally help people to understand each other. Providing a clear, convincing and approachable discussion, this book addresses the arenas of online writing: virtual teamwork, instant messaging, e-mails, corporate communication channels, and social media. Instead of offering do and don't lists, however, it teaches the reader to develop a practice that is observant, reflective, and grounded in the understanding of the basic principles of language and communication. Through real-life examples and case studies, it helps the reader to notice the previously unnoticed small details, question the previously unchallenged assumptions and practices, and become a competent digital communicator in a wide range of professional contexts UR - https://go.openathens.net/redirector/ciu.edu?url=https://portal.igpublish.com/iglibrary/search/BEPB0000398.html ER -
