Our community newsletters help keep members aware of local happenings. See all of the newsletters available within STC.

We've had a lively little discussion on fonts. Read the discussion (pdf) collected by Marge and read the articles referenced: Modern Trends in Typography (PDF), Readibility-KISS (PDF, and The Influence of Font Type on Information Recall (PDF).

A hot topics discussed on the discussion list has been about a 1975 STC publication regarding the levels of edit. Read the document in PDF format.

Ever found it interesting that people don't read the manual? The Washington Post has an article on the topic. Preserving it in all its glory, you can read it in the PDF.

One manager has been charged with developing a technical writing training program for nonwriter, engineers. Take a look at the issue and the suggestions by list members.
