Riassunto

Written for journalists by journalists, Working with Words presents the best, most comprehensive advice for journalism students. With parts devoted to grammar and editing as well as journalistic style and writing for different media, it goes into depth where no other book does, providing students with the mechanical and stylistic skills to become well-rounded, proficient journalists. Working with Words offers coverage that the Associated Press Stylebook does not and is a reference journalism students will turn to throughout their career.
