"Digital spaces keep evolving. Social media constantly changes. Adroit storytelling, precision writing and tight editing are forever. This textbook links foundational journalism principles with ambient media values to cleverly teach methods as content creators. Lessons and exercises are practical for identifying the underpinnings of writing through use of various platforms." --Margena A. Christian, University of Illinois at Chicago "The one book your students will not want to get rid of when the course is over. Media studies, journalism, and multimodal composition students appreciate the combination of Carroll's concrete advice in the context of his incisive appraisal of ever-changing new media landscapes.
This is a tremendously versatile digital writer's reference book that manages to be intellectually engaging and supremely practical at the same time." -Heather Julien, Emory University "In the latest edition of his textbook, Carroll does just what he promises: He keeps pace with the complex and often, as he says, blurry world of digital media while maintaining a solid journalistic grounding in the fundamentals of digital writing and editing." -Scott Warnock, Drexel University "A superb presentation of conceptual frameworks grounded in practical examples, Writing and Editing for Digital Media prompts students to bridge design with content, voice with style, and argumentation with ethics. The new and expanded coverage of data visualization, geo-mapping, and social media guides users to develop increasingly interactive and multimodal digital texts." -Ashley J.
