2010 AP Stylebook

The 2010 AP Stylebook has arrived with some notable changes.

• “website” is now one lower case word, instead of two.
• A new Social Media Guidelines section has been added.  It includes information and policies  pertaining to social media networks like Facebook and Twitter.
• Also included are entries on terms like app, blogs, click-throughs, friend and unfriend, metadata, RSS, search engine optimization, smart phone, trending, widget and wiki.

I really like the additions, especially the section on Social Media Guidelines. These guidelines will be useful because PR practitioners are using social media sites more often.
