AP Stylebook, 56th Edition
The classic spiral-bound Stylebook lies flat on your desk, making it easy for you to refer to an entry as you write or edit.
The Associated Press publishes a new edition every other year. The AP Stylebook, 56th Edition, includes nearly 300 new or revised entries since our previous book in 2020. Highlights:
— A new chapter on inclusive storytelling: its importance and how to achieve it.
— Detailed guidance on writing about people with disabilities and disabled people.
— Many updates on immigration, the coronavirus, gender and race-related coverage, including the capitalization of Black and expanded use of singular they.
— A revised chapter on religion, with guidance on when Catholic rather than Roman Catholic should be used on first reference.
— A thoroughly updated chapter on using social media for reporting.
When you buy the spiral-bound AP Stylebook from us, you can receive our update emails when the Stylebook's editors add or revise entries on AP Stylebook Online.
