Media Writer s Handbook: A Guide To Common Writing and Editing Problems

Media Writer's Handbook: A Guide To Common Writing and Editing Problems
by: George T. Arnold


Editorial Review:

Appropriate for media writing courses as either a primary or supplemental text, Media Writer's Handbook provides simple explanations and practical examples for writing and editing problems. Media Writer's Handbook is a teaching tool in the classroom and becomes a resource book that students and professionals can place on their desks along with their dictionaries and stylebooks.

Customer Reviews:

Avg. Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0

It's the best:

If you care about the language, you'll find this book invaluable. I like it better than any English grammar book I've seen. Dr. Arnold's book is a remarkably strong, easy-to-understand book. It's a book I always turn to when I am in a crunch with my own writing.

A must-have for students and professionals alike:

I was a student of Dr. Arnold's at Marshall University, so I'm not completely unbiased. With that said, however, this book, the author aside, is always the first or second book I consult for journalism problems, questions or concerns. Completely different than the AP Stylebook, which focuses more on getting names/places/things correctly identified (read: how to correctly spell and hyphenate "Band-Aid"), this book is a wonderful source for basic English refreshers, such as noun-pronoun agreement,... more info

Who would have thought?:

I've used Arnold's book since 1997, when I purchased it for a journalism course at Marshall University. If I had known what a valuable resource this book would prove to be, I would have bought several. As a writer, I turn to this book on a regular basis. The pages are worn, the metal binding is bent, but I will never stop using this book. Media Writer's Handbook is a great source for writers and editors in all genres.

Indispensable reference tool for any mass media writer.:

Dr. Arnold's book should sit next to any journalist's AP Stylebook. That says a lot about the number of times I've pulled it off my shelf to double-check the use of a verb or just to make sure I'm using the correct word or punctuation for the writing situation at hand.

It's quick, it's easy and it's also a reminder that despite the number of years I've been writing in journalistic style, there's an awful lot of ways to foul up. This book helps make sure I don't embarrass myself.
