    This is primarily an academic research tool (recommended by Dave MacCourt at the UMass Library.) Since it works with multiple sources outside acedemia (including wikkis) it would be a great way to organize sources for news/magazine articles.

AP Stylebook Online [2012] - 1 views

shared by Doug Pratt on 07 Mar 12 - Cached

    If you're writing for a newspaper, the majority of them are fussy about following the AP stylebook. It makes sense from their perspective.

Eliot (No space between T. and S. to prevent them from being placed on two lines of type." (P 363) I bet the online version is easier to search and the auto updates would be nice.
