With The AP Stylebook in hand, you can learn to write with the clarity and professionalism for which the Associated Press is famous. Fully revised and updated, this new edition contains more than 3,000 A to Z entries—including more than 200 new ones—detailing the AP’s rules on grammar, spelling, punctuation, capitalization, abbreviation and word and numeral usage. New entries include anti-spyware, high-definition, iPhone, outsourcing, podcast, text messaging, social networking, snail mail, WMD and Wikipedia. You’ll also find answers to such widespread questions as: • How should bankruptcy and mergers and acquisitions be covered? • When should the names of government bodies or businesses be spelled out and when should they be abbreviated? • What are the general definitions of the major religious movements? • Which companies do the big media conglomerates own? • Who are all the members of the British Commonwealth? • What constitutes “fair use”? • How should box scores for baseball games be filed, and how should sports terms like minicamp and wild card be used • What exactly does the Freedom of Information Act cover? With invaluable additional sections on the unique guidelines for business and sports reporting and on how you can guard against libel and copyright infringement, The AP Stylebook is the one reference that all writers, editors and students cannot afford to be without.

Encourages illiteracyJul 19, 2010 There are rules in the AP Stylebook that promote illiteracy. Worst in my view is the one calling for only an apostrophe, rather than an apostrophe followed by an s, to make the possessive of a word that ends in s. We can only be happy that the best publications, such as The New Yorker, do not follow the AP rules. Still, it is the AP Stylebook that is taught in most journalism schools. With such authority should go responsibility. The AP ought to appoint someone who properly appreciates the English language to revise its rules.
WritingJul 18, 2010 This book is very helpful when trying to maintain on particular style of writing. I haven't really gotten into the book to far.
The Associated Press Stylebook: Highly RecommendedJul 11, 2010 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)!
