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.

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!
ReplyDeleteI agree with ^. I also like this line: "The best way to learn AP Style is to use it."
ReplyDeleteHas 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.
I didn't know there was an APP, I should look into it. Thanks, Angus.
