Writing Can Still Be the Better Way

Criteria for situations in which writing is more effective as a communication tool compared to other media are discussed in this article. Emphasis is placed on "when" writing should be used instead of "how" to write. Survey-based guidelines are expressed in terms of administrative interrelation between people. Communication failure caused by implementation of the wrong medium is also discussed. An extended bibliography on oral communication, written communication, and the art of communication is included.
