Voice, style, editorial guidelines
Content should follow general UW and UW Bothell brand and editorial guidelines. Newsletter headlines and summaries will link to source content on unit websites (Campus Safety, IAS, Library, OE/HR, etc.). Content on websites will retain existing voice and style.
Text should be friendly, approachable, energetic and sophisticated. It should include a call to action; focus on the employee and the benefits, resources, events and information that will invigorate the sense of community that is a foundation of UW Bothell; and provide information faculty and staff need to be most effective in their work.
Be personal and direct. Use first person (“we,” “our”, “us”) and second person (“you,” “your”) when appropriate to maintain a conversational style. Use everyday language. Be concise. Use active rather than passive language.
