Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK "Basic Grammar for Journalistic Writing: An Introductory Text" is relevant in the enrichment of writing and speaking skills of journalists and all other learners of English Grammar. Most books on journalistic writing treat stages and appeals in writing but neglect practical application of grammar and mechanics. However, this book takes excellent steps in surmounting the challenge most students and even professionals of journalism and English Grammar have in writing good stories and articles as regards grammar and mechanics. It gives due consideration to the general structure of English Grammar, squeezing the numerous rules on usages into a better understandable number. The book vividly treats English Grammar in the first five chapters and then delves into application of the rules of grammar in writing journalistic forms - news, feature, editorial, commentary, column, interpretation, investigation and review. This resource material also treats how high school students can identify grammatical names and functions of certain expressions in examination situations and otherwise. The practical application of the basics of English Grammar in sample pieces (including online pieces) makes the book "a must read" for students of Mass Communication, trained journalists, English Language Instructors, Citizen Journalists (ordinary people who report events on the internet) and all learners of English Grammar.

Download or read book Do I Make Myself Clear written by Harold Evans and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2017-05-16 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wise and entertaining guide to writing English the proper way by one of the greatest newspaper editors of our time. Harry Evans has edited everything from the urgent files of battlefield reporters to the complex thought processes of Henry Kissinger. He's even been knighted for his services to journalism. In Do I Make Myself Clear?, he brings his indispensable insight to us all in his definite guide to writing well. The right words are oxygen to our ideas, but the digital era, with all of its TTYL, LMK, and WTF, has been cutting off that oxygen flow. The compulsion to be precise has vanished from our culture, and in writing of every kind we see a trend towards more -- more speed and more information but far less clarity. Evans provides practical examples of how editing and rewriting can make for better communication, even in the digital age. Do I Make Myself Clear? is an essential text, and one that will provide every writer an editor at his shoulder.
