This three day course will teach journalists and editors working in corporate media how to edit copy to make it clearer and more interesting to its target audience.
The course will cover intro-writing, headlines and captions, common issues of language, style and grammar, story structures, editing for clarity and length, ethical issues, handling numbers, relating to writers and much else. The programme is intensely practical and interactive, and participants will get ample opportunity to practice their skills and will get detailed feedback during the course. It is aimed at the particular needs of corporate media, which often rely very heavily on very small staff complements.
