In Chapter 6 I took the most from Guideline 2 which talks about identifying the full range of sources that may have helpful inforsmation. Many times when we begin to research a topic especailly in this day in age we assume we can find everything we need with internet research or at our local library. However we often forget one of the most useful tools available to us out there, people. Those that are involved or may have been affected by the issue that you are writing about can provide greater insight than we can read on any internet site or in any library. Someone who was in New Orleans and experienced hurricane Katrina first hand could give you far more detail about the storm and the aftermath than any journalist or reporter that may have been in the area but well out of harms way.
Chapter 7 Guideline 4 presented an interesting topic. It is important in any form of communication to interpret each relationship for your audience. In any job you could misinterpret information that is put in front of you if you do not understand how to read the information or if you do not understand how you should look at the information. I have to present information to businesses everyday that depending on how they look at that information could be the difference between signing a deal or the business walking away. I must make sure that they understand the material that I am presenting to them and make them understand the benefits that I am trying to present.
