Introduction

In December 2003, I began emailing a brief newsletter called The One-Minute Journalist to a dozen young reporters at The Hindu, a leading English-language newspaper in India.

Soon, the email began circulating in cyberspace. I then began sending it out to some 500 editorial staff at the paper.

English usage, well-written stories, an interesting turn of phrase ... anything that will make us all better writers and copy editors will form part of the newsletter.
