Ethics & Purpose
William Zinsser (On Writing Well, Ch . 1–4) and Tebeaux & Dragga (The Essentials of Technical Communication, Ch . 1–4) emphasize a moral obligation in writing. In one sentence, explain the specific principle they share about a writer’s responsibility to the reader.
A writer must present only information that is factually accurate, complete, and free of manipulative wording or visual distortion, using clear, concise language so that readers can understand the content without confusion and make informed, responsible decisions.
