Words matter, particularly for journalists, wheN a simple word choice or missing context can change the meaning of a story. We have a good example of this today: A mysterious attack on an Iranian consulate in Syria, with many news reports not mentioning the terrorist designations belonging to the groups involved.  Why?

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: More Hyphenation, published by Arjun Panickssery on February 7, 2024 on LessWrong. "MAN EATING PIRANHA MISTAKENLY SOLD AS PET FISH" - example news headline from Steven Pinker's The Sense of Style The rule is that you use hyphens for compound modifiers like the ones in natural-language processing, high-impact opportunities, cost-effectiveness measures, high-status employers, and so on. Don't break up compound proper nouns ("New York-based company") and don't use them after adverbs ending in -ly but do use them after other adverbs ("stern-looking boss"). You can use suspended hyphens when talking about "latex- and phthalate-free gloves." But hyphens are under attack. The Chicago Manual of Style "prefers a spare hyphenation style." The AP Stylebook says that "the fewer hyphens the better." In older texts you see a lot more hyphenation than you do today. Part of this is because of a good trend of combining compound nouns, turning e-mail and fire-fly into email and firefly. But part of it involves replacing hyphens with spaces, turning high-school seniors and ice-cream cones into high school seniors and ice cream cones. Some people think hyphens just look bad. But hyphens are excellent because they improve the readability of text - the speed at which it can be understood, even at a less-than-perceptible level. In fact, it would probably be an improvement to language if it became acceptable and normal to hyphenate compound nouns simply to make the noun phrase faster to read. But first I hope we can return to making references to chocolate-chip cookies. Skimming the curated posts that are on LessWrong right now, as a random sample: A Shutdown Problem Proposal A Shutdown-Problem Proposal hopefully-corrigible agent hopefully corrigible agent large scale X large-scale X A good example of hyphen use: "to make any child-agents it creates responsive-but-not-manipulative to the shutdown button, recursively."

We have the NEW data and a NEW record: 2023 now has the highest number of border "encounters" in the history of modern data collection.  While so many focus on the U.S. southern border, we tackle why the U.S. northern border matters too - and ask the key questions: Who does border patrol "encounter"? What do they encounter? And why does it matters?  We work through the data and fill in the blanks - including how many encounters include those screened for ties to terrorism. Plus: News you can use: "Children are three times more likely to be struck by a car on Halloween night than any other day of the year." A look at the why the AP Stylebook avoids the term "terrorist" for Hamas and why this matters. Why the United States voted against a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas at the United Nations. A unique legal case vs. former President Trump, with an argument that takes us back to the Civil War. What regional differences in candy preferences tell us about the state of America (or not!).

Thank you for joining another episode of the Albany Update. In today's program, we'll look at how media basis toward the pro-life movement cripples the conversation. Then, we'll note Republican gains in the last election, and postulate as to how it might affect future elections. Next up, President Joe Biden maddingly signed the [Dis]Respect for Marriage Act into law. Continuing with the Biden Administration we'll discuss the departure of one of his non-binary deputy assistants and what some pro-life organizations are doing to push back against federally funded abortions at Veterans' health facilities. Finally, as unbelievable as it sounds, the New York State Legislature may go into a lame duck session to give itself a pay raise. Let's get started. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/albanyupdate/support

The AP Stylebook wants to hide the abortion debate back in the dark recesses of euphemisms and penumbras after recent culture war wins forced its grizzly nature out into the open - why they want media outlets to stop using the term "late-term abortion." Plus, a mosque shelter catering to migrants from terror-prone countries opens right on California's doorstep, yet the feds don't seem interested in investigating who's there. Finally, the U.N. chief calls humanity a "weapon of mass extinction" - turns out climate alarmists hate their fellow man more than they love nature...go figure.Guests:· Dennis Prager· Andrea Kaye· Steve Milloy· Todd Bensman· John Rossomando

Not only is mainstream media no longer trying to be objective, but they're also openly advocating for specific viewpoints. And not only are they openly advocating for specific viewpoints, but they're also strategically manipulating public thought. In this episode, I break down five implicit messages that mainstream media trumpets to push culture toward a uniformity of thought that's nearly always at odds with a Christian worldview. Mentioned in this episode:My newest book, Faithfully Different: https://www.amazon.com/Faithfully-Different-Regaining-Biblical-Clarity/dp/0736984291My article, "Are Christians the New Extremists?

When should we use acronyms in our content? Seems like a simple question that isn't asked often. I see it all the time, unfortunately: Articles full of alphabet soup. Every chance the writer gets, they'll use acronyms. Nonstop. All the time. Now, I don't want to overstate things here. There's a place to use acronyms when they are globally understood and sometimes we don't even know they are acronyms. For example, laser is an acronym that stands for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation, according to the AP Stylebook. But let's dive into things here one step at a time: What are acronyms? Why do writers use them? The reason not to use them.

In 2017, the AP Stylebook approved the use of "they" as a singular pronoun to reflect the changing ways in which we use language to identify gender. For some, transitioning to a new, inclusive vocabulary has come naturally. For others, it has led to confusion and a struggle to keep up to date to ensure accurate coverage of those lying outside of the gender binary or those who do not identify as cisgender. We are joined by Kelly Bauer from Block Club Chicago, Tuck Woodstock from Sylveon Counseling and Kelly McBride from Poynter to explore how journalists can be inclusive and respectful of the trans community and gender diversity in their reporting. This episode is hosted by Carol Marin and produced by Justin Myers with music by Max Duggan. "So You Want to be a Reporter" is a podcast produced by DePaul University's Center for Journalism Integrity & Excellence.

National Polygamy Advocate ™ Mark Henkel persisted again with Jennifer Dobner of the Associated Press (the AP Newswire), on February 1, 2007. This was in response to a then-proposed bill, HB 2009, introduced by Rep. David Lujan, D-Phoenix, in Arizona, that sought to prohibit judges from granting custody to a parent who engages in "child bigamy" unless the judge determines that no threat exists to the child. In addition to trying to present the national movement's response to the bill for then-future AP-articles in that news cycle (and to address the falsely-worded idea of supposed "fleeing polygamy"), Mark Henkel was also again persisting to get the needed clarification in the AP Stylebook to include the necessary differentiating adjectives (such as "Mormon polygamy"). http://www.NationalPolygamyAdvocate.com --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/nationalpolygamyadvocate/support

Happy spooky-ween

National Polygamy Advocate ™ Mark Henkel was POST-interviewed on November 27, 2006, AFTER an article by the Associated Press (the AP Newswire) published nationwide on November 24, 2006. **This MUST-HEAR Interview*** is the third of 3 podcast audios regarding this article written by Reporter Jennifer Dobner. This interview discussed Mark Henkel's reaction and feedback on the interview, noting his observation of the need to help correct the AP Stylebook on the issue of reporter's needing to be allowed to differentiate "Mormon Polygamy" as a term, because of the mainstream "Mormons controlling the AP Stylebook." Mark Henkel gave the sound-bite, "The problem is, because the Mormon institution is controlling the definition, you can't say 'Non-Mormon Polygamist' because you can't say 'Mormon Polygamist.'" This point re-affirmed the connection to the past interviews, over the previous several months, with this same AP Reporter, in which Mark Henkel had persistently and repeatedly sought to get the AP Newswire's reports to clarify that UCAP, Unrelated Consenting Adult Polygamy, normal pro-polygamists around the country, had never (and always have never) had anything to do with the criminals or cults such as Warren Jeffs and the FLDS. This 3rd of these 3 podcast audios here reveals the friendly, professional, and even mutually laughing rapport between the reporter and Mark Henkel. The Reporter agreed that it made sense to move forward in exploring how to get such accuracy changes into the AP Stylebook, for the purpose of ensuring better brevity. She said, "It is a quagmire, I agree... ...I think it's a valid point... ...That's a really good suggestion, I'm writing it all down." She later concluded, "Everything you say is good fodder for another story." For more information about these 3 audios, listeners will want to be sure to also listen to the 1st and 2nd of these three podcast audios, posted in the previous 2 podcast episodes before this one. http://www.NationalPolygamyAdvocate.com --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/nationalpolygamyadvocate/support

According to the AP Stylebook and several other guides, when writing about people with disabilities; Avoid using terms such as “handicapped” or “cripple.” Clearly define the type of disability if you can. If this is not possible, you can use “people with disabilities” or “disabled people.” Example: Inappropriate: Services for the handicapped and their families Use: Services for people with disabilities and their families   Avoid language that suggests pity such as “suffer from”, “afflicted with,” “victim of,” or “stricken with.” […]

The MSM continues to push President Trump to denounce white supremacy, despite White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany having a whole list of times he's done it! Facebook bans ads that talk about voter fraud, but are news organizations' posts about voter fraud next? The AP Stylebook says it's better to use the word "unrest" instead of "riot" to avoid stigmatizing protesters.

Transcript This is Cirina Catania with OWC Radio. Steven Reed of Worship Leader Magazine is here with me. And I am fascinated by what you do and who you do it for. So can you tell our listeners exactly what that is? And then tell us about your recent trip. Sure. So excited to be here and thankful you guys are doing a podcast like this. So my name is Steven Reed, and I'm with Worship Leader Magazine. I'm with several other people at different times, my wife and I, and our family, do some music and travel, and do consulting for churches. But then we also take all of that knowledge, all that experience that we've had over decades of leading worship and being involved in churches and doing that consulting work and put that into Worship Leader Magazine, which is an online resource that has just so many decades. It's basically 30 years of magazines and conferences. And we host a podcast of our own that we do with different worship and church influencers. And then we also get to go to different churches and preach and teach and lead people in worship. So it's been an amazing journey, for sure.  And you're also an author.  I also write a lot, obviously, write for Worship Leader Magazine, and I've written a book that is about ready to be published. I'm writing another book that was written later, but it's going to be done before delegating because a lot of church people are struggling with learning how to delegate to other people. And so that's exciting to be getting that out. I've written plays, I've written all kinds of different stuff, and it was kind of funny because I felt like I struggled in English class, with grammar and all those things. So I'm thankful for spell check, thankful for my wife, who knows some grammar. And the AP Stylebook, right? That's right. Yeah, I think it's interesting. Delegating is a problem that all businesses have. It's very difficult for someone who is either an alpha or very creative or the leader of a team. Sometimes teaching people how not to micromanage can be very, very valuable. That's awesome that you're doing that. So you're multi-talented,

Do you like giving media interviews? Are you good at it? Some people loathe talking to reporters on the record. Others can’t get enough airtime. But does experience make you better? And even if you are good at it, could media training help? Rich Dubek is a journalist and media trainer in Phoenix. Robert gets his answers to these questions, and Rich’s advice if you’re in the market for someone to train your organization’s executives. Also, with hair salons opening in the Washington D.C. area this weekend, the gang talks about hair and whether there’s a pandemic-inspired ponytail in Robert’s future. And Sarah endures another round of the AP Stylebook quiz. Did she get all the questions right this time? Links: O’Dwyer’s PR Newsletter Guest: Rich Dubek Do You Need Media Training? Yes.

When you look at your media list, where are the trade media outlets? Are they at the top or the bottom? If they’re not the first newsrooms you pitch, your strategy may be outdated. That’s because the audience continues to shift away from mainstream media to sources focused on specific issues or topics.Mainstream outlets will always have a role, but there’s no doubting they’ve dropped beats, cut staff, and focused their resources on only the biggest national and local stories.Robert’s guest, Scott Nover, is a freelance journalist writing about media and politics for pubs like the Washington Post and The Atlantic.

The idea of public education in America is older than the nation itself, with the first school, the Boston Latin School, opening in 1635. John Hancock and Samuel Adams went there. Benjamin Franklin dropped out.Today, there are more than 98-thousand public schools in the U.S. with almost 51 million students attending. Private schools are busy too. There’s more than 34-thousand private schools open now, teaching nearly six million kids.Robert celebrates the start of another school year with two communicators, Rich Bagin, the Executive Director of the National School Public Relations Association, and Cody Kennedy Communications and Media Manager for the Olathe School District, in Olathe, Kansas.Also, we get a crash course in education style courtesy of the AP Stylebook, in two rounds of America’s favorite PR podcast quiz show, the Buzzer Beater.Links:First Public School in AmericaTotal Number of Educational Institutions in AmericaBack to School StatisticsGuest: Rich BaginNational School Public Relations Association (NSPRA)Jack O'Dwyer, newsletter publisher and 'soul and conscience' of PR industry dies, at 85How PR Pros Can Find New Audiences Through PodcastsGuest: Karen HeathGuest: Cody KennedyAP Stylebook: Back-to-School Topical Guide

Editorial cartoons helped fuel an American Revolution and framed the public’s opinion of our Civil War president, but are humorous and satirical illustrations pegged to the day’s news becoming a relic in the internet age? In the aftermath of a rare New York Times apology for a cartoon published just days ago, it is hard to argue they’ve lost their punch. Yet newsroom editors and bean counters are choosing words over illustrations. Robert examines this trend of disappearing ink with Michael Cavna, a cartoonist who now writes for the Washington Post Style Page. We celebrate the coming release of the 2019 AP Stylebook with Buzzer Beater questions pulled from its pages; examine the impact of typos in Tweets; and pay homage to Cinco de Mayo with a lame attempt at speaking Spanish.

Can you spot a spin? The abortion industry and its complicit media allies have mastered the art of spinning news stories to obscure the humanity of preborn children and sell the lie that abortion is a social good.

Spring brings sprouts, sunshine, and a new AP Stylebook full of changes every serious PR writer needs to know and understand. Alysha Love, a former journalist and current member of the executive committee of ACES – The Society for Editing, joins Robert to examine the latest updates to the writer’s must-have style reference, confessing her affection for hyphens, percent signs, and composition titles. Our Buzzer Beater player recommends a social media strategy to celebrate the 76 th anniversary of the novel, “The Little Prince,” while Robert recalls watching the movie in high school, entertaining us with his 10 th grade-inspired impression of the Little Prince himself.

If you’ve ever had a disagreement with a client, partner or employee over the use of certain words in your marketing or PR campaign, there are two simple ways to remedy this situation. Use AP Style.   The Associated Press issues an updated book every year called the “AP Stylebook and Briefing on Media Law.” It’s available at http://www.apstylebook.com/. Basically, it provides a dictionary-like guide to correct spelling and grammar that is used by most media venues in the U.S. And since press releases usually follow this style anyway, why not use it to settle word disagreements? If your clients insist on using a certain word or style, point to the entry in the book and show the correct usage. You have set guidelines for everyone to follow, and the disagreements end.   Test it.   Another way to end disagreements about word usage is to test variations. Simply write your content and post two different versions. Monitor the results with Google Analytics or links and interactions you can track, and see which version received the most attention. You then have an uncontested winner!   Why spend time on dumb arguments over word usage, grammar and style? Instead, use one of these solutions to enhance overall results and focus on more important, core business activities. www.rembrandtwrites.com www.podcastandradio.com   Learn more about your ad choices.

Roseanne Barr’s racially charged tweet this week brought race relations back into the headlines. In this week’s episode of Poll Hub, the team takes a look at how attitudes about race differ from generation to generation and how those views have evolved over time. Then, the Associated Press revised the AP Stylebook to include a chapter on polls. The Poll Hub crew speaks with Emily Swanson, Polling Editor at the Associated Press, about the decision to make the change and the key recommendations on polls and polling the AP now provides to journalists.

In episode 9, Solo and Lilo sit down to discuss the week's top gaming stories. We look at the Nintendo Labo and how revolutionary a cardboard box is for gaming, Snoop Dogg ends up on a Twitch stream smoking a blunt as a marketing campaign for SOS, Rocket League potentially going cross-platform in 2018, the new mind-blowing trailer for the new God of War (out on 4/20 -- nice), whether the Witcher 3 TV series could be the next GOT, Overwatch releases a batch of new skins and a new map, Blizzard World. And then we wrap up the show with the most important piece of news from the week, the expansion of the Xbox Game Pass to include all first-party Xbox titles and future console exclusives.

The Associated Press Stylebook has decided to join the sexual and moral revolution, and it's going to war with human nature. The new guidelines instruct that writers and editors, for example, should “avoid references to being born a boy or girl.”On the one hand, we must realize that one of the most important weapons in moral revolution is vocabulary. If you change the language, you in effect change the reality.On the other hand, we can be sure that they will not actually be successful in changing this fundamental reality of biological sex. As much as the modern sexual revolutionaries may want to destroy them, the terms and ideas of being male or female remain rather indispensable.Parents will continue to announce that a baby boy or a baby girl has been born. And that's because, thanks be to God, parents are not bound by the Associated Press Stylebook, nor will they be.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Words have power. How we speak and how we’re spoken to impacts our lives. This is especially true of mass media, which is our window on the world around us. Most news media, newspapers, magazines, broadcast new media, use what’s called the Associated Press Stylebook in Writing. It’s been around since 1953, and it’s designed to provide a uniformity of writing style. It’s mostly concerned with grammar and other language conventions. Every year, the Stylebook is updated to reflect changes in language uses. But this year’s changes are problematic. Instead of listing when to use numerals instead of spelling out numbers, or proper use of commas, or when to use abbreviations, the latest changes seem to reflect an agenda. As examples, the phrase "pro-life" is no longer used. Instead, it’s "anti-abortion." And the word "abortionist" is also discouraged, with the phrase "abortion provider" being recommended instead. Rachel Alexander, senior editor of The Stream, talks about why this is happening and what it means for journalists and media providers.

-Pat and Stu ponder Donald Trump's inaction on immigration policies enacted by the Obama Administration. Why didn't Trump take action on day one in office after running a campaign focused on enforcing immigration laws that had been ignored? Has he gone back to his democratic roots and gone down the path of “comprehensive immigration reform”? Pat explains that such reform undoubtedly means amnesty to illegal immigrants.-New York police are on the hunt for four activists who mounted a “Refugees Welcome” banner on the Statue of Liberty. The only lead they reportedly have is that one of the four is named “David”. So, if you know a “David” living in the Tri-State area, call NYPD now! (Actually, please do not do that.)-Venezuela has continued to plummet into chaos as its socialist policies have led to its starving citizens taking on a “Maduro” diet and eating flamingos to stay alive. The guys wonder if the birds taste like cotton candy… In all seriousness though, 82 percent of Venezuelans live below the poverty line, so we can pretty clearly discern that things have only gotten worse since the death of Hugo Chavez.-The Trump Administration has announced that they will lift federal transgender bathroom guidelines. Exactly what this means is still uncertain, but Pat and Stu agree that it is probably good news for conservatives who either champion the states' right to choose or a policy of “the gender of your junk” (Stu's exact words).-President Trump is a very well-spoken man… sort of… Okay, maybe he isn't. While visiting the new African-American History Museum in Washington, the President allegedly looked upon a slave auction block from Maryland and was quoted as saying, “Boy, that is just not good. That is not good.” On a pair of shackles, he supposedly remarked, “Boy, that is really bad. That is really bad.” Well, he's not wrong.-Major League Baseball pitchers no longer have to throw four pitches for an intentional walk. Now all the umpire needs is a signal from the dugout to send the batter to first base. The guys agree that this isn't messing with tradition too much. They can't say the same for the idea of giving both teams a free runner on second in extra innings to help shorten games.-A Massachusetts school district has halted a program that had police officers high-five students as they entered school. The rationale behind this action is that “some students might not be comfortable with police presence at the beginning of the day.” Pat, Stu, and Jeffy agree that we should have more of these programs in place to promote trust of such authority figures.-“Illegal Aliens” or “Undocumented Immigrants”? What is the proper way to address the millions of immigrants who have entered this country without proper authorization? According to the AP Stylebook, the only term to use is “Undocumented Immigrants." Stu makes the claim that "Illegal Aliens" sounds like these people actually entered the country illegally (which they did), whereas "Undocumented Immigrants" sounds like they are documented, but just left their papers at home.-Glenn Beck joins the program to tell the story of Booker T. Washington's emancipation from slavery and subsequent rise to prominence within the African-American community. Glenn implores listeners to read 'Up from Slavery', which eliminates all doubt about what sort of man Washington really was.-Why do cartoon characters wear gloves? The reason is not racism, as was surmised on a previous episode. The reason is that these humanized versions of animals required additional contrast to be seen properly in grainy, black-and-white footage.-The guys eat and rate new salsa and queso-flavored chips in the latest edition of SPOONS!

The guys agree that this isn't messing with tradition too much. They can't say the same for the idea of giving both teams a free runner on second in extra innings to help shorten games.

What do you call a guy with a bald pate? A chrome dome? Maybe the lucky fellow is sporting a solar panel for a sex machine. Also, which would you rather open: a can of worms or Pandora's Box?
