Principles of International Correspondence

This group presentation discusses principles of editing that especially matter in international or global correspondence and writing. This research compares successful international correspondence to editing work where colleagues come from different cultural backgrounds that must each be considered, with the base theory coming from research on global communication trends such as World System Theory. This research could be methodologically applied to improve correspondence between individuals within global companies coming from different parts of the world or to improve news writing that describes news situations taking place in a different culture and nation than the writer’s home one.
