Journalism -- the Fourth Estate -- has established itself as an integral part of our society. Happenings in India during the British Raj and post-independence are the best testimony of it. Editing is the most significant part of journalism. It plays a significant role in determining the quality of a newspaper or magazine.

In the past, most of us learnt it through a painful process of trial and error. We dont want the new comers to suffer from that pain and therefore this book Communication Skills: Effective Editing.
