Description:

Journalists trade in words. Using language accurately, clearly, and consistently is part of their job--and this skill is equally important for writers and editors. Watch Your Words is designed as a handbook for quick and accessible classroom and newsroom use. Consistent with The Associated Press Stylebook, it establishes a baseline for language-skills knowledge in the areas of punctuation, grammar and usages as well as AP style. Self-tests, answer keys, and sections on spelling and copy-editing symbols also are included. For information on how to bundle this book with other Rowman & Littlefield textbooks, contact textbooks@rowman.com.
