Personally I like "Communication Specialist". My friend ahs
that on her business cards and I think it hits the nail right
on the head. It don't matter what "audience" you are writing
for, you are employed to use your expertise and skill to
"communicate" thoughts, ideas, principles, operations to that
audience. And lets face it, it is a speciality. Just cause
you got your grade 12 English, it doesn't mean you know how to
do this job.
==============
In the federal government, Communications Specialist is a title
for a very different sort of job. It is a person who analyzes,
recommends, establishes, or manages communications connections
(such as circuits, telephone lines, satellites, etc.). It has
little to do with technical writing.

My personal favorite for this discussion is "Information
Analyst."
