New Subediting gives a detailed account of modern editing and
production techniques. Its aim is both to help the young subeditor
and to spell out to the newcomer to newspaper journalism what
happens between the writing of news stories and features and their
appearance in the newspaper when it comes off the press.
In this age of technological change the quality of the subbing has
never been more important to a successful newspaper. The careful
use of typography, pictures, graphics and compelling headlines and
the skillful handling of text coupled with good page planning, all
help to give character, style and readability.
This book examines, and draws lessons from, work in contemporary
newspapers in editing and presentation; it defines the varied
techniques of copytasting, of editing news stories and features, of
styles of headline writing and the use of typography to guide and
draw the attention of the reader. It takes into account
developments in the use of English as a vehicle of mass
communication in two important chapters on structure and word use;
and it shows how to get the best out of the electronic tools now
available to subeditors.
It also reminds journalisis that, however advanced the tools, a
newspaper is only as good as the creative skills of those that
write, edit and put it together.
A complete guide to the process and context of subediting
Practical tips and advice are drawn from the author's own
experience
