(To write well, you must write clearly. And to write clear...)
To write well, you must write clearly. And to write clearly, you must practice. In A Journalistic Approach to Good Writing, Robert Knight, a veteran journalist, uses an easy, engaging, often humorous style to present the fundamentals of journalistic writing. The ability to apply these fundamentals will serve you well in all forms of written communication. Journalism students, practicing journalists, students of English, editors and freelance writers will find the many samples of others' mistakes and triumphs a valuable learning tool. Each chapter provides exercises designed to develop your skills and hone the craft of writing clearly.
