Law enforcement PIO’s LOVE “juvenile.” I’ve always preferred minor. Now the @APStylebook weighs in: “Juvenile and minor are broad terms that can carry legal connotations when sometimes there are none… “…consider terms like child, teenagers, youths, young teens, etc.” #PIO

The new AP Stylebook, 57th Edition, goes on sale today. It includes new chapters on artificial intelligence and criminal justice, plus a detailed checklist for self-editing. Is it time to update your AP style guidance? apne.ws/ZI18QNI


The safety of our Eagles is our top priority. We are pleased to announce that a tornado drill was conducted today. @VDEM
