Associated Press Stylebook & Libel Manua

by Associated Press

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The style of the Associated Press defines clear news writing. In fact, more people write for the AP news service than for any single newspaper or broadcaster in the world. The AP Stylebook is therefore ”the journalist’s bible,” an essential handbook for all writers, editors, students, and public-relations specialists.The AP Stylebook contains over 5,000 entries laying out the AP’s rules on grammar, spelling, punctuation, and usage. It gives journalists the references they need to write about the world today: correct names of countries and organizations, language to avoid, common trademarks. Special sections cover business and sports reporting. This edition, published in the Associated Press’s 150th year, also includes crucial advice on how writers can guard against libel and copyright infringement.An up-to-date AP Stylebook belongs on the desk of every working writer.

Synopsis:

Providing facts and references for reporters and defining usage, spelling, and grammar for editors, this is "the bible of the newspaper industry" ("American Bookseller"), now updated to keep pace with world events.

Description:

Includes bibliographical references.
