Public Relations Courses Semester Six
Course
Description

Editing
COM 316

(3 cr.)

Students learn that editing is part science, part art and part diplomacy.  Science means mastering language skills - spelling, grammar, punctuation, usage and style - and using them to ensure that copy is clear, accurate and consistent.  Art means making the writing tight and effective through word choice and economy.  Diplomacy means knowing when to change copy and when to leave well enough alone.  Students learn how editors play the roles of gatekeeper and quality control agent.  Those not interested in editing as a career will learn valuable skills to improve their writing.
