Plain language in the press

Hi Simplifiers

The Business Day published an article about plain language which looked at the new obligations on some financial services companies to write to consumers in plain language.
SAFM's 'Word of Mouth' programme last Sunday afternoon included a segment on plain language. John Orr was interested in finding out more about the process of writing plainly.

Cheers for now,

Frances

Hi Lesley

As the interview was pre-recorded and I missed the live version, I am very glad to hear that the interview sparked someone's interest!

If you click on the text 'an article about plain language' in my post above, you'll get to the Business Day article. Alternatively, go the the Business Day website, and you'll find it posted on 28 June 2007.
