Managing Nature/Empowering Decision-makers: A case Study of a Forest Management Plan
M. Paretti. 2003. Technical communication quarterly 12:439-459.
"Forest management plans, written by natural resource professionals for private landowners, provide a useful mechanism for analyzing documents concerned with communicating information about natural resources. The documents suggest that maintaining a sharp distinction between the professionals and the lay audience leads to stylistic and structural problems that hinder clear communication ancl mediate against collaborative decision-making, even when such collaboration is the goal. This article offers specific mechanisms for overcoming these textual problems."
