(the official AP Stylebook is sold, whether as online access or a printed manual, hence this non-affiliated site)
Kevin M, to PGage, Steve Timko, and moi, Jan 18th: > AP guidelines used to be (not sure if it has changed since I went to > college) that people are referred to as murderers if they are found guilty > or liable for someone else’s death. Otherwise, accused or alleged are used. > > So OJ can be referred to as a murderer, whereas Robert Blake cannot. > B -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
