The Associated Press Stylebook in fact states on the front cover EVEN BEFORE THE TITLE that it is "The Bible of the Newspaper Industry." To journalism students, the Associated Press is Big Brother. To journalism students, the Associated Press Stylebook is Hammurabi's Law. The Stylebook frequently states "despite the spelling in Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, this word should be spelled..." It also includes a 41 page 'Briefing on Media Law.' This is the result of Big Brother and Hammurabi collaborating and writing 20 pages on what not to do... and then 21 pages on how to get away with it every single time.
