Good journalistic English / 12 октября 2007 г.
Good journalistic English:
- Limit the number of ideas in each sentence
- Use the active voice whenever possible
- Be positive
- Avoid monotony
- Use specific words
- Strike out meaningless modifiers
- Avoid needless repetition (once is enough, twice a feast, thrice a felony)
- Avoid monologophobia (a monologophobe would rather walk down Yonge Street naked than be caught using the same word more than once in three lines of type)
- Care for meanings
- Avoid cliches like the plague
