After receiving numerous queries on some of the industry language used by journalists, the BBC College of Journalism has produced a glossary of journalism jargon to add to its list of guides on other topics including politics, religion and law.

The glossary, which is open to additional suggestions, so far includes terms such as accountability, ENPS and stand-upper.

…the questions kept coming. What is the difference between a package and wrap? What did the editor mean when she told me to get some wild-track? And why is the manager worried about our ABCs? So, we’ve had a go at a glossary of journalism terms. It is not, of course, definitive. It is based on the experience of a few of us.
