Minor in Journalism Studies - Copy Editing JOUR 3550   Copy Editing
CREDIT HOURS: 3
In this course, students will edit real stories selected for their potential as well as their problems. They will work on them for tightness, polish, accuracy and style. The goal is to help students develop the copy editor's “double vision” — the ability to see the story as a whole and line by line as a collection of parts, to see both the forest and the trees. This course is not only for students who want to become copy editors, but also for students who want to become better editors of their own writing.
