The Women’s Media Center is pleased to announce the
publication Unspinning
the Spin: The Women’s Media Center Guide to Fair and Accurate
Language by Rosalie Maggio.
WMC co-founders, Robin Morgan and Gloria Steinem, wrote the
preface. Regina K. Scully and Artemis Rising Foundation are the
founding sponsors of WMC Press.
By combining eye-opening facts plus wit, Unspinning the Spin
helps you decode the hype and say what you actually mean. Consumers
and creators of media are the most obvious beneficiaries, but everyone can
benefit from this timely guide on the background, current uses, accuracy,
nonbiased alternatives, and best practices for choosing and de-coding
commonly used words and phrases.
Unspinning the Spin: The Women’s Media Center’s Guide to
Fair and Accurate Language is available in print
from WMC Press on Amazon.com or womensmediacenter.com,
or in e-book format distributed by Open Road Integrated Media on Amazon
Kindle, Apple iTunes, Nook, Google eBookstore and Sony Kobo.
The author, Rosalie Maggio, has been an expert and widely
read authority on language for more than 25 years. She is the author of the
award-winning Dictionary
of Bias-Free Usage and the editor of The New Beacon Book of
Quotations by Women.
We are proud to publish this book that helps us understand
the power of words to define and shape who we are and what our roles are in
society.
