Brian Carroll

Professor Brian Carroll is Chair of Communication at Berry College in Mount Berry, Georgia. His 1st book, When to Stop the Cheering? The Black Press, the Black Community and the Integration of Professional Baseball, was published by Routledge, an imprint of Taylor & Francis, in 2007 and was named a finalist for SABR's Seymour Medal. It was also named Book-of-the-Year by the Negro Leagues Committee of the Society of American Baseball Research. Carroll's 2nd book, Writing for Digital Media, was published by Routledge in March 2010, a book revised and expanded into Writing & Editing for Digital Media in 2014. In 2015, The Black Press and Black Baseball: A Devil's Bargain came out, also from Routledge.

Dr. Carroll earned his Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the School of Journalism & Mass Communication. Before earning his Ph.D., he was a photographer, reporter, and editor for several publications, including the Greensboro News & Record, PC Gamer, and several magazines and trade newspapers.

The Writing and Editing for Digital Media 3rd edition (PDF) eBook is designed for high school and college students to learn how to write effectively for digital spaces. Whether it’s blogging, writing for an app, crafting a story for a website, or using social media to expand the conversation, this eBook provides exercises and lessons in every chapter to build a solid understanding of the ways that digital communication has introduced opportunities for multi-directional communication and dynamic storytelling.

This revised and updated 3rd edition by Brian Carroll pays particular attention to opportunities presented by the growth of social media and mobile media. Chapters aim to teach best practices in the areas of management, social media strategy, and use, and help communicators to approach storytelling from a multimedia, multi-modal, interactive perspective, putting their audiences first by focusing attention on user experience, user behavior, and engagement with their user bases. The eBook also assists digital communicators in understanding the socially networked, increasingly mobile, always-on, geo mapped, personalized media ecosystems.

The 3rd edition has been updated with pedagogy and contemporary examples, it broadens its scope, helping digital writers and editors in all fields, including marketing, public relations, and social media management. It includes examples from the 2016 presidential election that Trump won, an expanded look at using social media.

Reviews

Scott Warnock from Drexel University says “In the latest edition of his textbook, Carroll does just what he promises: He keeps pace with the complex and often, as he says, a blurry world of digital media while maintaining a solid journalistic grounding in the fundamentals of digital writing and editing.”

Ashley J. Holmes, from Georgia State University says “A superb presentation of conceptual frameworks grounded in practical examples, Writing and Editing for Digital Media 3e prompts students to bridge design with content, voice with style, and argumentation with ethics. The new and expanded coverage of data visualization, geo-mapping, and social media guides users to develop increasingly interactive and multimodal digital textbooks.”

Margena A. Christian from the University of Illinois at Chicago says “Digital spaces keep evolving. Social media constantly keeps changes. Adroit storytelling, precision writing and tight editing are forever. This textbook links foundational journalism principles with ambient media values to cleverly teach methods as content creators. Exercises and lessons are practical for identifying the underpinnings of writing through use of various platforms.”

Heather Julien from Emory University says “The one ebook your college students will not want to get rid of when the course is over. Media studies, journalism, and multimodal composition students appreciate the combination of Carroll’s concrete advice in the context of his incisive appraisal of ever-changing new media landscapes. This is a tremendously versatile digital writer’s reference ebook that manages to be supremely practical and intellectually engaging at the same time.“
