The Associated Press Stylebook and Briefing on Media Law, Fully Revised and Updated: Fully Revised And Updated (Associated Press Stylebook and Briefing on Media Law)
More people write for The Associated Press than for any newspaper in the world, and writers--nearly two million of them--have bought more copies of The AP Stylebook than of any other journalism reference. 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 for how to write photo captions, file copy over the wire, proofread text, handle copyrights, and avoid libel. This edition of The AP Stylebook keeps pace with world events, common usage, and AP procedures.

The supreme authority!
I have used the AP Stylebook for over 5 years. The entries are easy to find and easy to understand. Entries are brief and to the point. Are the seasons capitalized? How about north, south, east and west? Where do you place adverbs - before or...

Too relevant to not be in a digital format
The issue with this book is not that it is not relevant or useful. To the contrary, it is much too relevant to be left on the shelf. It needs to be published and indexed in an electronic format that can be quickly searched and accessed by...

Must-have resource for writers!
This is the perfect reference tool for those things you don't necessarily learn in grammar class. Highly recommended for those who edit or write for newspapers or magazines, even high school & college kids.

Benefits more than journalists
The title of this book might lead you to think this is just another grammar book--and one with only print journalists in mind. Not so! If you are looking for a guide that will ensure consistency in all of your corporate literature, I highly...

Good Introduction to AP Style
