Subject: [Leica] Salgado' s (now standards)
From: cartersn at nsula.edu (Sonny Carter)

Many professional journalists do not hold degrees in Journalism, Rita
Braver of CBS holds a Political Science Degree.  Charles Osgood, in
Economics, as does Martha Teichner.  Dan Rather has his degree in
Journalism. Rush Limbaugh (heh) did not go to college.

When I was a TV News Producer, we had young graduate reporters who
seemed to have never studied AP Style.  One time, a reporter brought me
a piece of copy, and I told him that if he could diagram that lead
sentence, then I'd let it go to air.  He re-wrote the sentence. 

While no one enforces the use of the AP stylebook, (a goodly number of
shops  are not AP members,)  it is more than convenient to have
standards spelled out.  You'll find AP Style differs very little from
Strunk and White.

I gladly stand corrected. However, try graduating with a degree in print
journalism without following AP's published guidelines.
