 Top 10 Associated Press Style Rules 1.Use a person’s full name and title the first time you mention him or her in an article.  For example, write Don Swanson, professor of communication, not Prof. Swanson.  Once people have been fully identified, refer to them by last name only.  There are exceptions, so always check the AP Stylebook.  Reminder: ◦ MLA Heading – Left Side of Paper ◦ Write the Rule and Example ◦ 10-minute writing

 Top 10 Associated Press Style Rules 2.Spell out abbreviations or acronyms on first reference.  For example, use Passaic County Community College the first time you refer to the college in a story. You may use PCCC on any references made after that.  Another example would be to use DAR only after you have spelled out Daughters of the American Revolution on first reference. ◦ Well-known abbreviations or acronyms need not be spelled out.  For example, use FBI or YMCA or scuba without spelling them out, as people know what they stand for.  Reminder: ◦ MLA Heading – Left Side of Paper ◦ Write the Rule and Example ◦ 10-minute writing

 Top 10 Associated Press Style Rules 3. Abbreviate months when used with days, and use numerals (1, 2, 3, etc) not ordinal numbers ( 1 st, 2 nd, etc). ◦ Exceptions are March, April, May, June and July- write them out, don’t abbreviate. ◦ For example, write Sept 2, 2008, not September 2ns, When using only the month and year, spell out the month.  Reminder: ◦ MLA Heading – Left Side of Paper ◦ Write the Rule and Example ◦ 10-minute writing

 Top 10 Associated Press Style Rules 4. Generally, spell out the numbers zero through nine and use numerals for 10 and higher. Note, however, that numbers used at the beginning of a sentence are spelled out. ◦ Example: Five hundred twenty-four students attended. It is better, however, to rewrite the sentence so that it doesn’t begin with a number. ◦ Example: Attending the event were 524 students from local colleges. Years are one of the exceptions. ◦ For example: 2008 was a bad year for investors.  Reminder: ◦ MLA Heading – Left Side of Paper ◦ Write the Rule and Example ◦ 10-minute writing

 Top 10 Associated Press Style Rules 5. Use numerals for ages younger than 10. This is another exception to the aforementioned number rule. When used like an adjective, say X-year-old, including the hyphens. Otherwise, don’t use the hyphens. ◦ For example: the 5-year-old girl kicked her brother, who is 8 years old.  Reminder: ◦ MLA Heading – Left Side of Paper ◦ Write the Rule and Example ◦ 10-minute writing

 Top 10 Associated Press Style Rules 6. Spell out the word ‘percent” but use numerals for the actual number. ◦ Examples: Participation increased 5 percent.
