Episode 89: Too Many Words

It’s not that the information is incorrect but the impact of the message is diluted. We’re all guilty of this from time to time. It often comes out of a desire to ensure a point is being made, or sometimes it’s out of insecurity. As communications professionals, especially as we pitch stories to journalists, we need to lead the way in making the most of our message with the economy of our words. Thoughts?
