Associated Press: Perbedaan antara revisi

The collapse of [[United Press International]], AP's traditional competitor, has left it as the only national news service in the United States of America. The other rival [[English language|English-language]] news services, such as [[Reuters]] and the English language service of [[Agence France Presse]], are based outside the United States. It is noteable that the ''[[AP Stylebook]]'' has become the ''de facto'' standard for newswriting in the country.

 

 

The AP has a straightforward, "just-the-facts" writing style, often using the ''[[inverted pyramid]] style'' of writing so that stories can be edited to fit a newspaper news-hole without losing the essence of the story. The explosion of media and news outlets with the arrival of the Internet has made such concise writing less necessary, and raised the need for more feature-style writing.
