"Fearless Editing" clearly articulates the basic concepts
underlying editing techniques and demonstrates their application
for newspapers, public relations, magazines, and Web pages. This
text takes a conceptual approach that integrates verbal skills with
visual elements. Unlike other texts that are clearly designed for
print, this book includes multimedia applications in every chapter.
Features
- Focuses on six concepts that underlie editing--priority, unity,
contrast, clarity, beauty, and community--which makes it more
interesting than traditional "how-to" approaches and provides a
springboard for lively in-class discussions and ever-improving
work.
- Integrates visual learning in stages with verbal editing, so
students see the connection between the two and gain a fuller
context for their work with words.
- Offers two chapters on graphics that explain mathematical and
statistical practices and guide students to create sound and
meaningful charts and graphs.
- Integrates material on the Web and public relations throughout
the text, preparing students to work in a variety of media
throughout their careers.
- Features a chapter on color, which is applicable to print and
Web media.
