The New York Times Manual of Style and Usage: The Official Style Guide Used by the Writers and Editors of the World's Most Authoritative Newspaper is a style guide (copyright 1999) by Allan M. Siegal and William G. Connolly. The revised and expanded paperback edition is copyright 2002.
Although it was written for New York Times journalists, it has also been published for use by others.[1] Much of the information is specific to neither The Times nor New York.
Some differences between the Associated Press's style manual and that of The New York Times are:
- The Times' manual gives rationale for many practices for which The AP Stylebook does not.
- The Times' guide is self-indexed, while the Associated Press's book has separate sections for sports and weather entries, and it combines many entries under such terms as "weapons" and "weather."
- The Times' book has some whimsical entries, such as one for how to spell shh.
- The Times' book requires that the surnames of subjects (sports-related columns being the most notable exceptions) be prefixed with a title (such as Dr., Mr., Ms., or Mrs.).
