A dynamic, authoritative, creative guide for corporate, business and organizational communicators.

"The Craft of Corporate Journalism covers just the kind of subjects that effective business communicators need to master. Most importantly, it offers ways around the traps that so often turn corporate writing into the kind of plodding, predictable prose that marches straight into the trash. Listen to Lionel Fisher. He'll help you get your words into your readers' heads, not their round files." - Jack Hart, Managing Editor, The Oregonian

"This is one of the best books from the genre to be seen in some time, a compact but definitive text with advice for both neophytes and iron-bottomed 'flaks.' Staying loose and mildly iconoclastic, Fisher guides his readers through the minefields of jargon and cliche, teaches them to avoid pedantry and stultifying prose, and stimulates the use of techniques applicable to creative writing. Good stuff, this. From the hip, but straight-shooting all the way through." - Paul Pintarich, Pages Columnist, The Oregonian



Excerpt

Service journalists. That's how an editor-in-chief describes us to a roomful of communicators.

We are, he said, purveyors of ideas, of information and inspiration through writing intended to produce a positive result.

We report and advocate. We achieve organizational goals. We create and enhance employee, shareholder, and customer confidence.

We build faith in corporate leadership and pride in its products. We heighten employee morale, foster belief in the company's intrinsic worth, trust in its mission.

Call what we do, then, action journalism.

Transcending the mere delivery of information, it is writing with the expectation that readers will act as a result of our words.
