writing white papers

A white paper that is actually read?

If a white paper is going to be read at all, it needs to be written and presented using journalistic techniques. The information must be accessible to as wide an audience as possible.

From an indigestible tome...

In theory, a white paper is an authoritative report or guide of a few pages, dedicated to a particular product, offering or technology, that is destined to be read by prospective clients.

In reality, most white papers are never properly read - because most of them are not at all readable. They are often too long, badly structured, full of jargon and understandable only to those few specialists who take the time to look at them.
