COPY EDITING

This working group builds a style guide for The Dominion. We jack a lot of Canadian Press standards. We make up some of our own. We're open to debate about our style; that's why this group exists.

Email moira@mediacoop.ca if you're interested in volunteer copy editing for The Dominion.
