Editing Today

Description:

In the late 1990s, potential journalists face new challenges: Newspapers are seeking fresh ways to appeal to readers; the roles of editors have been redefined; and computers do more than just process copy and sets type. Editing Today introduces students to the brave new world of newspaper editing and prepares them to deal with the challenges and opportunities they will face in the newsroom today. Authors Ron F. Smith and Loraine M. O'Connell have taken the framework of Martin L. Gibson's classic Editing in the Electronic Era and produced a thorough guide to all aspects of newspaper editing - from checking each comma to designing and laying out a page.
