Fearless Editing
Crafting Words and Images for Print, Web, and Public Relations

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.
