Editing in the Digital World

Catalog description

This advanced copy-editing course, building on basics learned in JRN 3100, will provide students with a foundation in editing across digital platforms including websites, blogs, and social media. Traditionally, copy editors edit stories, write photo captions, and write headlines, and must have keen eyes and ears for language and style while also being aware of legal, ethical, and news quality issues. Online convergence adds the need for proficiency working across platforms and mediums to ensure online content displays consistency and quality in everything from printed words, to audio, to video, to graphics.
