معرفی کتاب «انگلیسی برای خبرنگاران، ویرایش سوم» (با عنوان لاتین English for Journalists, Third edition) نوشتهٔ Wynford Hicks، منتشرشده توسط نشر Abingdon در سال 2007. این کتاب در فرمت pdf، زبان انگلیسی ارائه شده است.
Wynford Hicks, currently spending the rest of his days teaching cricket to locals in his adopted French home, thoroughly deserves his idyllic existence after helping thousands of journalists through their exams and careers with this stunning guide. He describes in plain English when and where to use different forms of punctuation, how to properly construct a sentence and make enjoying an article as easy as possible for today's busy reader. The section on journalistic style sticks two elegant fingers firmly in the face of English teachers who cry bad grammar at the merest hint of beginning a sentence with a proposition or dabbling with the GCSE demons of the split infinitive. The chapter on tabloidese is hilarious, chatting as it does about a employee who slammed his boss in a bid to win favour with colleagues and now fears he will be axed. The question he asks is do you ever here people conversing in this manner at a bus stop? He also launches an offensive against 'posh' and 'trendy' words, and helps writers resist the urge to use them simply to impress their colleagues, while bewildering the hapless reader. Invaluable.
