Some AP tips

See:  Twelve Common Mistakes
and for titles: Quote Marks, Italics, Underline or Naked: AP vs Chicago style

Titles

  • Capitalize and spell out formal titles such as professor, dean, president and chancellor when they PRECEDE a name. 
  • LOWERCASE elsewhere. It should be journalism Professor Joe Schmo. Do not abbreviate professor as prof. 
  • Occupational titles are always lowercase, such as senior vice president Nancy Schmancy
TV, movie, book, newspaper titles

  • Use quotation marks for albums, TV shows, movies, works of art, speeches books, video games
  • Do NOT italicize or put quotation marks around magazines and newspapers.



The words toward, upward, forward and backward do NOT end is S. For instance: She ran toward the front of the room.
