Why Learn AP Style?

I found a short piece on the importance of AP Style.  It has a short, but interesting lede and ties everything together in the nutgraf.  It also includes a good photo of an individual going through the AP Stylebook - something we all are learning to do.  I think the piece supports the message in class that becoming proficient with AP Style and frequent use of the AP Stylebook is a must.

  1. This is a great educational piece, thank you so much for posting Charles. I am always finding that I need to check, check, and double check my AP style!

  2. I agree with ^. I also like this line: "The best way to learn AP Style is to use it."

    Has anyone tried the AP Stylebook app? I bought the app last term instead of the book, because (like the article says) there are so many updates each year to the book and the app downloads them automatically.

  3. I didn't know there was an APP, I should look into it. Thanks, Angus.
