Public Relations Writing - 5 Questions

PRSA's national publication, Tactics, has published a fantastic piece on editing someone else's work. One of the reasons it is so fantastic is because I know their are likely plenty of mistakes on these pages that each of you catch each day (I know this because some of you let me know, which I always appreciate).

The article, written by Joan Stewart, gives five questions to consider when editing a document.

Is the writing clear?

Is it accurate?

Is the punctuation correct?

Is it fair?

Are all words spelled correctly?

If I could make a habit of asking these questions every time I proofed something, I would be a lot better editor.
