Three required journalism books when I was a college student were On Writing Well by William Zinsser, The Elements of Style by Strunk & White, and the Associated Press Stylebook.
I just learned that Zinsser has died after a long and fruitful life and career. He would no doubt take issue with the passive-voice construction of my first sentence in this blog post. He will be missed. If you’ve never read his elegant book, I highly recommend it.
