Are Pune Technical Writers the Highest Paid?
Are Pune technical writers the highest paid of the breed in India? The word on the street doesn't say so. As a hiring manager, I don't believe so. But, the salary survey suggests so.

Ashes or Phoenix? Technical Communication or Information Design? 
The results of a study of 28 New Zealand technical communicators show that practitioners in this country are undergoing the same role redefinition as their colleagues in the US. New Zealand practitioners are no longer just 'wordsmiths' but are using a wide range of multimedia skills to design and produce user-ready information products. Practitioners were interviewed to find out what their roles were, how their roles had changed and what skills they believed were essential to be a successful technical communicator. The results revealed a group of highly motivated problem solvers and a profession that is evolving to use the core competencies of information design with new strength and energy.

China Is Hungry: Technical Communication in the People's Republic of China 
Nine technical communicators and three technical communication teachers from the United States and Canada visited the People's Republic of China, to determine how technical communication is practiced and taught by the Chinese. The delegation discovered a field at its earliest stages, without status as a separate profession or academic discipline. The practice of technical communication by Chinese managers, scientists, and engineers is typically ad hoc and instruction is almost always extracurricular. China's expanding economy, however, offers a timely opportunity to promote the discipline and the profession. To build bridges to the international community, China is hungry for contributions of information technology as well as expertise in English and technical communication.
