This is the second volume of Melvin J. Lasky's The Language of Journalism series. When it was first published, it broke new ground in focusing on the comparative styles and prejudices of mainstream American and British newspapers, and in its trenchant analysis of their systematic debasement of language in the face of obligatory platitudes and compulsory euphemisms.
