Creative Editing for Print Media

This basic introduction to print journalism editing recognizes that recognizes that students need to learn editorial skills even though they may not be editors. The authors begin with an overview of the editor's roles in journalism, and introduce editing as a creative, vital profession (within the context of the many changes going on in newspapers). Two chapters on basic grammar precede particularly strong chapters on law and ethics for editors. Two chapters on basic editing skills with headlines and news services are followed by three chapters on working with the visual aspects of editing: pictures, infographics, type, and design.
