A reliable resource with easy-to-follow guidelines, the Guide de rédaction has been consulted by journalists for more than 45 years as they deliver hundreds of stories each day to newspapers, broadcasters and websites.

It is also a valuable guide for students, professors, magazine writers, editors, as well as PR professionals who need to ensure their press releases follow the writing standards used by the media.

Winner of a prestigious award from the Office québécois de la langue française

The Guide de rédaction was originally earmarked for the “French in the workplace” category, but it was honoured with a special prize because of the excellence of the publication, said jury president Guy Dumas.
“The jury was really taken with the book and decided to hand out this special prize,” said Dumas.
