The Canadian Press Stylebook is a one-stop reference book used by journalists at Canada’s national news agency as they deliver hundreds of stories a day to newspapers, broadcasters and Internet sites.Social media and the Internet have continued to revolutionize and challenge journalism, so this 17th edition takes a comprehensive look at how staff members can safely and effectively practise and promote their craft with tools like Twitter and Facebook, while keeping true to basic newsroom principles of impartiality, fairness, accuracy and even-tempered discourse. This new edition also offers more detailed rules governing the use of unnamed sources, and guidance on when and how media outlets can make use of images posted online. It offers advice for handling stories that involve suicide, and for dealing with government and corporate officials who might not always be forthcoming with reporters. And it updates the company’s policy on dealing with obscenity in the news report.
