Among the changes in the 2008 Associated Press stylebook, used on business news desks around the country, are new entries for products like the iPhone and technology news terms such as “podcasting” and “text messaging.”
The entry for “company names” has grown to 3 1/2 pages, listing the formal names of the top 100 U.S. companies and 50 major non-U.S. firms. The new “cable networks” and “movie studios” entries list the leading entities in those media — from A&E to the Weather Channel and from Columbia TriStar to The Weinstein Co. — as well as their owners.
The revised Business Guidelines section contains new primers on covering bankruptcy and mergers and acquisitions, and interpreting proxy statements.
