Style Guide
Back to TopTTUHSC uses The Associated Press Stylebook as its basic style guide. In certain instances, however, journalistic style is not appropriate for university publications. In those cases, it is appropriate to distinguish between media style, which follows the Associated Press, and publications style, which follows a more formal, academic style.
In cases where the editor feels the need for yet other choices, the Chicago Manual of Style may be followed. When an alternate is used, however, the chosen option should be followed consistently throughout the document or publication.
