Editing AP Stylebook (section)

==Title==
From 1909, when the first company-wide stylebook-like guide was released internally under the title: ''"The Associate Press Rules Regulations and General Orders"'', and until 1953, the stylebook was published under different titles including, among others, ''Instructions for Correspondents of the Associated Press'', ''The Associated Press. Regulations Traffic Department'', ''A Guide for Filing Editors. The Associated Press'', ''A Guide for Foreign Correspondents. The Associated Press'', ''A Guide for Writers. The Associated Press'', ''The AP Copy Book'', and ''AP Writing Handbook''.

By the end of WWII, pressures from a growing number of non-journalistic business sectors, already referencing copied or confiscated copies of the guide for years, greatly increased the stylebook's demand. The first publicly available edition of ''AP Stylebook'' was published in 1953 under the title ''"The Associated Press Style Book"''. Since 1953, the stylebook has been published under different titles, including  ''Writing for The AP''; ''AP Stylebook''; and ''The Associated Press Stylebook and Libel Manual''.<ref>[https://archive.today/20120718022456/http://lccn.loc.gov/96644756 Library of Congress Catalog Record] for ''The Associated Press Stylebook and Libel Manual''</ref>

Some journalists have referred to ''The AP Stylebook'' as the 'journalist bible'.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Goulet|first=Neal|date=2014-02-09|title=AP Stylebook remains a compelling and necessary read|url=http://gouletcommunications.com/ap-stylebook-remains-compelling-read/|access-date=2023-02-03|website=Goulet Communications: Public Relations Specialist|language=en-US}}</ref>

In 2000, the guide was renamed ''The Associated Press Stylebook and Briefing on Media Law'' and the paperback edition has been published under this title since then.<ref name="Luckie">{{cite web| url= http://www.10000words.net/2008/02/mans-journalists-best-friend.html| title= The history of the AP Stylebook| author= Mark S.
