Whitepaper
A whitepaper is a report or guide on an issue. It provides important and definitive information that holds value for the readers. It is written in a much more formal tone than most other pieces of content. Whitepapers differ from blog posts and other forms of marketing content. Most other content provides short glimpses at a product, or highlights of features that a product has. A whitepaper provides an in-depth, very detailed explanation of a topic. They can be written on any topic and are used widely by businesses in all industries and by the government.
