#Tip of the day from Journalism.co.uk – how to quote sources responsibly
September 27th, 2011Posted by Rachel McAthy in Comment, Journalism, Top tips for journalists
Over on Poynter there is a useful copy of a live chat with Roy Peter Clark, author of “Writing Tools: 50 Essential Strategies for Every Writer” looking at the use of quotes. Questions posed at the start of the post include: what defines a good quote; what’s the ideal length for a quote; whether you can “tinker” with quotes for clarity and the chat also touches on using social media for reaction.
See a playback of the live chat here.
