Copy written for print media is not appropriate for online consumption.
Having worked in both communications and web based roles I can honestly say that this is an issue that comes up almost daily.
Marketing executives constantly throw copy from magazine articles, brochures and advertising to web executives to ‘just upload.’ Unfortunately, this phenomenon has a tendency to occur less and an hour before deadline – rendering any chance of editing or alternative suggestions impossible.
