Waterhouse on Newspaper Style by Keith Waterhouse
In 1982, Mirror Books published Daily Mirror Style by Keith Waterhouse, its star columnist. It has been used as the guide to language usage by journalists ever since but now, owing to the Mirror's declining reputation, Waterhouse is rewriting it to take a view of how language is used (and should be used) in both tabloids and quality papers. It is enlivened by extensive quotations and the author's famous sense of humour.
