-Typically, module developers will implement event emission via the `EventManager` in the [`handler`](../building-modules/handler.md) of modules, as well as in the [`BeginBlocker` and/or`EndBlocker` functions](../building-modules/beginblock-endblock.md). The `EventManager` is accessed via the context [`ctx`](./context.md), and event emission generally follows this pattern:
+Module developers should handle event emission via the `EventManager#EmitEvent` in each message
+`Handler` and in each `BeginBlock`/`EndBlock` handler. The `EventManager` is accessed via
+the [`Context`](./context.md), where event emission generally follows this pattern:
 
 ```go
 ctx.EventManager().EmitEvent(
-		sdk.NewEvent(
-			eventType,  // e.g. sdk.EventTypeMessage for a message, types.CustomEventType for a custom event defined in the module
-			sdk.NewAttribute(attributeKey, attributeValue),
