The Associated Press Stylebook: Highly Recommended

Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2010

Verified Purchase

An excellent resource on many levels, "The Associated Press Stylebook" calls itself "The Bible of the Newspaper Industry," and you can take their word for it. While an essential reference for anyone who writes for publication (print or online), it's also sufficiently interesting to read for its own sake. We've even used the AP Stylebook for pickup games of Trivia!

There are actually ten parts to this book. The Stylebook, which is the largest, contains information far beyond grammar and punctuation. You can find here rules for proper usage ("backward," not "backwards"), capitalization (don't do it with "congress" unless it's part of a proper name), abbreviations ("MiG": the "i" is lowercase because it's the Russian word for "and"). I could go on, but you get the idea.

The nine other chapters include (2) Sports Guidelines and Style; (3) Business Guidelines and Style; (4) A Guide to Punctuation; (5) Briefing on Media Law; (6) Photo Captions (how to write them); (7) Graphics (how to file them); (8) Filing the Wire; (9) Filing Practices; and (10) Editing Marks.

I highly recommend Associated Press Stylebook 2007 (Stylebook and Briefing on Media Law) !

Layout can be confusing but overall it is good

Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2010

Verified Purchase

Sometimes looking up how to write something correctly can be a challenge within itself because your word you're using to describe something may be located under a different word in this AP dictionary.

Good reference aid for a community newspaper

Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2008

Verified Purchase

I work as a columnist and newspaper staff writer. The book helps our weekly community newspaper maintain consistency and a professional appearance. We are a tabloid paper serving a bi-county area in central Kentucky. I would highly recommend this for any person who writes for a newspaper, or any student of journalism. There are a lot of books out there on newpapers, but this is probably the gold standard for journalistic excellence.

Finally!

Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2007

Verified Purchase

Finally I can point to the authority and say,"Look, don't use the word HOPEFULLY to mean 'it is hoped, or let us hope.'" It is an adverb, not to be used to modify a sentence, only to modify a verb. Use it to mean 'in a hopeful manner.' Yes, the other use has been documented since the 30s, but that doesn't make it right.

Stepping off the soap box now. Thanks AP!

Excellent Update of an Industry Standard

Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2007

Verified Purchase

I got exactly what I wanted--an up-to-date version of a standard to replace the one I have had for years. I particularly appreciated the section on media law--many changes have taken place in the past few years, as the media landscape has changed. Journalists or writers will find knowledge in this area to be especially helpful.

The DSM for journalists! A trusted source

Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2014

Verified Purchase

Much like the DSM for psychologists, the AP Stylebook is the go-to book for finding the proper spellings and usages of words. I suggest you always purchase the most recent copy of the AP style guide. Otherwise, google your inquiry through a trusted source.
