The Art of Editing (7th Edition)

The Art of Editing examines every aspect of the editing function - from writing headlines, to researching and documenting facts, to creating an attractive, readable and contemporary product. While more traditional newspaper editing forms the foundation of the text, in this book, attention is also placed on the areas in which students are finding jobs - corporate magazines, broadcasting, online media, public relations and advertising. The book also emphasizes the ethics involved in editing for today's media - readers learn how to edit for taste and fairness and how to avoid unintentional sexism and racism. It also includes numerous real-world examples to show readers how the concepts and principles are practiced by professionals. Designed for anyone interested in learning the techniques of editing, as practiced in real-world settings.
