Media statement
The Cancer Society’s Editorial Team would like to thank the judges for making them a finalist this year. They are, in a true sense, champions of plain English and they’ve been the group behind the Society’s full conversion to plain English. The Team believe you must use clear and concise language in you resources to reach your audience. In doing so, they hope to provide them with a better understanding of their diagnosis and information on how they can live well during and after cancer
