"Writing and Editing for Digital Media has long been a valuable and accessible textbook for anyone interested in digital communication. This edition - with new chapters on brainstorming story ideas and making them come to life through words, sound and video - is essential." - Andy Bechtel, UNC Chapel Hill"Put away the red pen; a digital editor must optimize a text's discoverability on search engines, enhance articles with multi-modal content, ensure the usability of hybrid genres, and more. Carroll's careful analysis of these expectations makes his book an indispensable manual for all advanced composition, editing/publishing, and professional writing classes." - David Haeselin, University of North Dakota"Carroll's expanded and updated coverage of multimedia storytelling will become indispensable for learners. I'm looking forward to a new adoption." - Michele Mosco, Arizona State University.
