The Associated Press Pro Journalist Cheat Sheat
Through a confidential informant, I've gotten access to an Associated Press cheat sheet. It provides their highly trained, professional journalists with crucial guidance on describing people and events. I reprint it here in its entirety. Don't thank me... it's for the all the budding journalists in the audience.
HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL: DO NOT DISCLOSE TO LGF! Your handy guide to being a pro journalist for the AP: it's cookie-cutter simple!  "radical cleric"  "populist venezuelan leader"  "insurgents"  "palestinian student"  "ailing Cuban leader"  "photo opp"  "wise, beltway veteran"  "distinguished, former president"  "Middle East foreign policy expert"  "unjustly detained AP photographer"  "reliable source" |
