The Plain English Campaign: Fighting For Crystal Clear Communication
The Plain English Campaign officially began in 1979, after founder Chrissie Maher publicly shredded hundreds of official documents in Parliament Square, London. Entirely independent, the campaign funds itself through its commercial services, which include editing and training. The organization provides some great examples of clear communication (see before and after) and seeks examples of horrid, jargon-laden writing from the public. Send examples to the Plain English Campaign today. If you’re really interested in crystal clear communication, you’ll want to subscribe to Plain English magazine.
Previously published issues of the magazine are available online.
