Journalism (AP Style Essentials) Facts, attribution, restraint. The writer disappears; the story stays. The core rule Report, don't opine — and make every claim attributable. AP journalism is disciplined by two questions: "Can this be attributed?" and "Is this my opinion leaking in?" If either fails, the sentence changes. Workflow: lead with the news (who, what, when, where — why in the second graph) → attribute claims to named sources with verbs of saying → follow number/date/title conventions exactly → let quotes carry opinion; the narration stays neutral. Mechanics Inverted pyramid. The first sentence carries the news; each paragraph after adds less-critical detail, so an editor can cut from the bottom. Lead answers the 5 Ws. Who did what, when, where — and why/impact in the second graph. Attribution discipline. "according to the police report", "said Maria Chen, the company's CEO". The reporter's job is "said" — neutral verbs only (said, told, according to).
