How to meet its needs is critical for technical writers
Target Audience
Understanding the facets of an audience and how to meet its needs is critical for technical writers. For example, a writers would develop a technical document much differently for a team of scientists than they would for audience without a background in the same subject matter. First, explain how and why it is important to identify the target audience of a document or presentation. Second, locate and define a current or future target audience that would demand the use of technical writing elements in its communications. Third, answer the following questions:
1. Who is the audience?
2. What is their background: history, education level, experience with the subject matter, etc.?
3. What do they value? What do they desire or need?
