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:

"That bible of the newspaper industry" — American Bookseller, June 1997

More People Write for the Associated Press than for any newspaper in the world, and more writers — over 1,500,000 — have bought The Associated Press Stylebook than any other journalism reference book. It provides facts and references for reporters, and defines usage, spelling, and grammar for editors. There are separate sections for journalists specializing in sports and business, and complete guidelines on how to write photo captions, file copy over a wire, proofread text, handle copyrights, and avoid libel.

This edition of The AP Stylebook has been updated throughout to keep pace with world events, common usage, and the service's procedures. Its lay-flat binding allows writers to use the book while typing just as they would use a spiral-bound edition.
