Journalism

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. 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.

Elements of Indigenous Style provides guidelines to help writers, editors, and publishers produce material that reflects Indigenous people in an appropriate and respectful manner. Gregory Younging, a member of the Opaskwayak Cree Nation in Northern Manitoba, has been the managing editor of Theytus Books, the first Aboriginal-owned publishing house in Canada, for over 13 years. Elements of Indigenous Style evolved from the house style guide Gregory developed at Theytus in order to ensure content was consistent and respectful.

The seventeenth edition of The Chicago Manual of Style offers updated guidelines on electronic workflows and publication formats, tools for PDF annotation and citation management, web accessibility standards, and effective use of metadata, abstracts, and keywords. It recognizes the needs of those who are self-publishing or following open access or Creative Commons publishing models. The citation chapters reflect the ever-expanding universe of electronic sources—including social media posts and comments, private messages, and app content—and also offer updated guidelines on such issues as DOIs, time stamps, and e-book locators.

The premier source for journalists. The 2015 edition is a revised and condensed version of the classic guide, updated with solutions to problems that plague writers in the Internet age: How to cite links and blogs; How to handle tweets, hashtags and other social-media content; How to use current terms like "transgender," or to choose thoughtfully between "same-sex marriage" and "gay marriage." With wry wit, the authors have created an essential and entertaining reference tool.
