It’s the handbook we use for guidance on choosing our words, and we’ve updated it to include more accurate language about race, gender, abortion, immigration, climate, and more.
• The distinction between disinformation and misinformation
• The distinction between victims and survivors
• A default to gender-neutral occupational titles (with exceptions)
• Climate language like "accepting" scientific facts, not "believing" in them
• When should we use Latinx?
• Should Black and Brown always be capitalized (but not white) or should individual writers and sources decide on their own terms?
• What’s the distinction between “white supremacy” and “white nationalism”?
Our copy team will answer all of your nontrolling questions (and most of your trolling ones).
