AP Stylebook Tweets
The AP Stylebook is great about tweeting style updates and tips for journalists. Yesterday it tweeted about how to write defense: regardless of gender, you should always write "man-to-man" defense. It also tweeted on how to write about shooting goals in basketball emphasizing that players shoot field goals, not floor goals, even in basketball. The AP Stylebook does an excellent job of keeping in touch with its followers and is very good about tweeting anyone back that tweets at them with a question or AP style concern. The twitter is an easy way to inquire into AP style without having to look at or buy an actual stylebook. The twitter has a very helpful and friendly tone to it. All journalist should follow this twitter!
