The Effective Editor

This book offers tools and help for those who work with writers. It gets editors out of the doldrums and into improving reporting and writing by raising their own effectiveness as leaders. It is especially useful for those who are caught in the sandwich between management and staff. This book speaks first to news editors and news directors, but also to others who guide writers in their work. A number of texts tell editors about their work; this handbook speaks to them about what to do first, and then what to do next. Filled with examples of winning practices, it equips editors with new approaches, and inspires them through the examples of others.
