Fundamentals of Media English

Zusatztext

Studies conducted in the US, UK, Canada and Australia about English proficiency among students revealed that grammar, spelling and punctuation are the major challenges irrespective of academic discipline and orientation. This reality has been acknowledged by prominent newspaper editors in both developed and developing countries as the salient challenge affecting aspiring and practicing journalists. Media scholars and professionals are consensual that for the journalists to communicate to their respective audience with high fidelity there is the need for substantial appreciation of English grammar right from the universities and journalism training institutions. This book offers a comprehensive alternative and resource in English grammar, spelling and punctuation to journalism students and journalists alike. The book will equally be useful to English teachers, instructors as well as mass communication and media professionals.
