Chapters: Theodore Menline Bernstein, List of American Copy Editors, American Copy Editors Society, Pam Robinson, William G. Connolly, Bill Walsh. Not illustrated. Excerpt: Theodore Menline Bernstein (November 17, 1904 June 1979) was an assistant managing editor of The New York Times and from 1925 to 1950 a professor at the Columbia University School of Journalism. Bernstein obtained his B.A. from Columbia University in 1924. Among many other responsibilities in the 1950s and 1960s, it fell to Bernstein and his colleague, Lewis Jordan, to make up the next day's front page of the Times. His colleagues often saved his drafts on particularly newsworthy days. During the run-up to the Bay of Pigs Invasion fiasco in 1961, the two settled on a four-column lead headline that put the invasion into dramatic perspective. However, under pressure from President John F. Kennedy, publisher Orvil Dryfoos ordered that the story be toned down, and the headline reduced to one column. Bernstein and Jordan were both infuriated, even after Dryfoos personally explained his decision to them. The story is told in detail in Without Fear or Favor by former Times editor Harrison Salisbury. He wrote or co-wrote 7 books on grammar and usage, which have all been reprinted and republished since their first appearances. They are: "Now, I am a firm believer in democracy, but I also believe that there are some fields of human activity in which a count of noses does not provide the best basis for law and order." -- from The Careful Writer ...

Excerpt: News Writing style Ethics Objectivity Values Attribution Defamation Editorial independence Education Other topics Copy editing, also written as copy-editing or copyediting, is the work that an editor does to improve the formatting, style, and accuracy of text. Unlike general editing, copy editing often does not involve changing the substance of the text. Copy refers to written or typewritten text for typesetting, printing, or publication. Copy editing is done before proofreading, which is the last step in the editorial cycle. In the United States and Canada, an editor who does this work is called a copy editor, and an organization's highest-ranking copy editor, or the supervising editor of a group of copy editors, may be known as the copy chief, copy desk chief, or news editor. In book publishing in the United Kingdom and other parts of the world that follow UK nomenclature, the term copy editor is used, but in newspaper and magazine publishing, the term is sub-editor, commonly shortened to sub (to sub is the verb form). The senior sub-editor on a title is called the chief sub-editor. As the "sub" prefix suggests, copy editors typically have less authority than regular editors. The alternate spellings copyedit and copy-edit are fairly common. Similarly, the term copy editor may also be spelled as one word or in hyphenated form. The hyphenated form is especially common in the UK. In the U.S. newspaper field, using two words is more common. The "five Cs" summarize the copy editor's job: Make the copy clear, correct, concise, co...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=343323 ... Read more

From the supplier: A newspaperman discovers that copy editing just is not as challenging and as much fun as being a free-roaming reporter on a journalistic beat, even if it does mean more money. He tried copy editing for 11 years before coming to this decision. He discovered that both had pitfalls such as getting used to new technology, though.
