Grammar & Writing Style
Our January speaker, Catherine Catanach from the Berks Arts Council, talked about the importance of artists using accurate style in their communications, press releases, etc. For those interested, she suggests a website at Utah State University that gives a guide to AP (Associated Press) style used in most print journalism. It also offers some quick "test yourself" questionnaires and answers. Go to www.usu.edu/journalism/faculty/sweeney/resources/ap.htm.
