News editing for newspapers : three modules of a textbook

This creative project presents the first three modules of a proposed fifteen-module textbook on copy editing. The three modules contain college-level instruction and practice in the elements of copy editing, the tools of the profession, basic line editing, and guides for attribution of news sources and the editing of biased news copy. At the end of each module, there are lists of important terms contained in the text and a series of three editing exercises concentrating on subject matter in the text.The creative project also includes an up-to-date examination of modern newspaper technology and how it affects the copy editor. This examination explores video display terminals, optical character recognition and pagination, including examples of how the editing process is conducted in the computer age.
