These are various links to web-based guides and tip sheets provided in no particular order. Some are commercial sites whose products or services I do not necessarily know or endorse. Some have been shamelessly ripped off from other teachers at other colleges or universities (thank you for sharing!). They are provided here for no other purpose than to help Luther Communication/Linguistics students understand the specialized writing styles utilized in print, broadcast, and web-based news, and for public relations.
I will add to this list from time to time, as I stumble across new sites, and ask you to let me know if some links become broken.
