Those who seek information from radio and press are largely served with miserable German. Television at least hears about this now and then. However, there is hardly any criticism directed at newspapers, even though their German is no less appalling - including the renowned national ones. Alarmingly many editors provide their readers and listeners with a difficult-to-understand and sloppy language. This book provides proof of that. It offers writers recipes on how they can improve. For teachers, students, and interns, it is a treasure trove. It serves as a thought-provoking stimulus and a source of amusement for all readers.
