Essential English: For Journalists, Editors and Writers by Harold Evans

Essential English
By Harold Evans and Crawford Gillan

This was a good introduction and guide to the role of the text editor in magazines and newspapers. I have yet to find another book that focuses specifically on this part of magazine/newspaper production - so despite being somewhat out of date, I think this might be the definitive guide for anyone entering journalism through the route of sub editing or copy editing.
