Dear colleagues,

The latest issue of JBTC is available on SAGE’s OnlineFirst. This special issue’s topic is Business and Technical Communication and COVID-19: Communicating in Times of Crisis. Jordan Frith, JBTC’s book review editor, guest edited this issue. These articles of about 1,500 words respond to our ongoing health crisis. Because the articles are COVID-related, SAGE has made them freely available: https://journals.sagepub.com/toc/JBT/current

The issue’s TOC appears below my signature.

Best, Jo
