 In its fourth
edition, Style Guide a comprehensive manual for journalists
and writers is now available.
Is "alright" all right? Is it nerve-wracking or nerve-racking?
Why can’t you sail into unchartered waters? Can you spell asphalt,
diphtheria and Kosciuszko? Should it be reopen or re-open? The
answers to these questions - and thousands more - are in Style
Guide.
The written word - in the form of a newspaper, book, magazine or
website - remains the most reliable way of communicating
information and ideas. Writers must observe the highest standard of
language and usage to communicate effectively. This applies to
journalists as much as any writer.
The language used by journalists – and their publishers – must
be simple and unambiguous. The aim of the Style Guide is to
promote accuracy and consistency, and to strike a balance between
brevity and clarity. Style Guide is an essential tool for
every writer.
Used by more than 120 newspapers, News Limited’s Style
Guide explains the grammar, spelling and punctuation rules used
by Australia’s premier news-gathering organisation, its writers and
its editors. Style Guide will ensure you don’t choose
"barmy" when you mean "balmy" or "elicit" instead of "illicit".
Your choices will be judicious, not judicial.
