I am an editor for a non-profit health care advocacy organization. When I started here, I was coming from a science background. I wrote and edited educational materials for 2 years. The transition from an educational company to a political organization was difficult as I often felt the language we were using was more manipulative than the science writing that I had been doing, which was devoid of emotion. We work on an issue that I find incredibly important and we do good, honest work. But sometimes I am turned off by the messaging that exists in the world of politics and I struggle with balancing truth and persuasion.
