The style of the Associated Press is the gold standard for news writing.

You'll find answers to such wide-ranging questions as: · When should the names of government bodies 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?· How should box scores for baseball games be filed?· What constitutes "fair use"?· What exactly does the Freedom of Information Act cover?
