From the Back Cover
Fearless Editing clearly articulates the basic concepts underlying editing techniques and demonstrates their application for newspapers, public relations, magazines, and Web pages. This text takes a conceptual approach that integrates verbal skills with visual elements. Unlike other texts that are clearly designed for print, this book includes multimedia applications in every chapter.
Features
- Focuses on six concepts that underlie editing—priority, unity, contrast, clarity, beauty, and community—which makes it more interesting than traditional “how-to” approaches and provides a springboard for lively in-class discussions and ever-improving work.
- Integrates visual learning in stages with verbal editing, so students see the connection between the two and gain a fuller context for their work with words.
- Offers two chapters on graphics that explain mathematical and statistical practices and guide students to create sound and meaningful charts and graphs.
- Integrates material on the Web and public relations throughout the text, preparing students to work in a variety of media throughout their careers.
- Features a chapter on color, which is applicable to print and Web media.

A decent textbook,

This review is from: Fearless Editing: Crafting Words and Images for Print, Web, and Public Relations (Paperback)
I found this textbook to be useful, not it was not the best. If this is your first read on journalism, I would recommend this book. If not, look for something more advanced than this.
