Journalism Exercise 1: Copy Editing for News with AP Style With your AP Style Manual as your main resource, copy-edit the printed story for grammar, punctuation, AP Style, word choice and other error
In a Word Document, highlight/underline each error you find and designate each highlighted error with a number. Make a corresponding numerical list of each error and each fix you made. So, if “necesary” were misspelled, and this was the first highlighted error in the paragraph, you would put “#1” on the story print out and then on your separate piece of paper you would start your list as: #1. necesary misspelled — necessary.
