PG Diploma Course in Content Writing

Chapter-III

It is next process that commences immediately after the topic selection. If the content writer possesses the required knowledge about topic, he can prepare the content on his own. However, in several cases, the content writer may be expected to prepare content about unknown issues or his knowledge about the topic may be limited and may not be sufficient to write about the topic. In such cases, he has to depend on other sources for information and following are some of such reliable sources:

  

·        Books and Periodicals

·        CDs, DVDs and audio and video cassettes

·        Personal Interviews

·        Internet

More than 90% of the present day content writers are computer savvy and rely up on Internet for collecting required information. Less than 10% of them depend on other sources such as Books, Periodicals, CDs, DVDs and audio and video cassettes. Wherever it is necessary, they may collect information through discussions and interviews with Subject Matter Experts.

However, it must be noted that mere Internet research may not be sufficient for research scholars, doing their research at Universities. They may more likely to depend on other sources for information.
