Working With Words reflects the complexities of the media landscape and our changing world with new coverage that explores how artificial intelligence is affecting journalism. The fully revised Chapter 7 addresses ongoing discussions about language in the 2020s and provides the latest guidance on matters of appropriate, sensitive and fair language in our increasingly connected world. A new section offers specific advice on how to access trusted sources for legitimate facts and information. Grammar and style coverage has been carefully revised to provide the most concise, complete and up-to-date source of journalism advice on these topics. A fully revised online exercise book gives students the opportunity to practice the writing and editing skills covered in the main text, including implementing grammar and mechanics guidelines, practicing proper copy-editing symbols, and rewriting sentences for clarity and conciseness. The workbook is available on the Macmillan catalog.
