Description and Table of Contents
Description
English for Journalists is an invaluable guide not only to the basics of English, but to those aspects of writing, such as reporting speech, house style and jargon, which are specific to the language of journalism. Written in an accessible style, beginning with the fundamentals of grammar and the use of spelling, punctuation and journalistic writing and each point is illustrated with concise examples.
This revised and updated edition includes:
* a discussion of the recent debates surrounding the use of standard and idiomatic English
* the correct use and spelling of foreign words
* a chapter on broadcast journalism
* an updated glossary of journalistic terms
