  • UW Style Manual
    UW Style Manual Institutional Communications (Updated: 1-4-14 for magazine) UWYO Magazine differences and additions to the UW Style Manual are noted in red. The Division of University Public Relations, which includes Institutional Communications, University Marketing, Photo Services, and UWYO Magazine, provides standards for university style, consistency and accepted use in producing news, publications and copy for the Web. Our goals in creating and maintaining this style manual are accuracy and completeness. However, because the university community is in a state of constant change, this guide can only be "by necessity" a work in progress. As such, we welcome your feedback. Feel free to submit any corrections, updates, suggestions or comments to: [email protected]. Rationale It’s about consistency, not constraint. This style manual is a set of standards for use when you’re unsure of how a word, term, or name should be spelled, referred to, or punctuated. Its goal is to provide consistency so readers won’t be distracted from your message by variations in style or grammar. This set of "guidelines" is not meant to curtail creativity. It is intended to increase accuracy, understanding, and readability when communicating both internally among the university community and externally with the press and public. Intended as an aid to writers, editors, and communicators on campus, not all points contained in the style manual may agree with style guidelines followed by some specific departments or disciplines on campus. For example, scientific, technical and legal communications all follow their own distinct standards. No matter what style is followed, however, the goal of Institutional Communications should be consistency throughout communications, presentations, publications or Web sites using AP style and, where necessary, Institutional Communications’ style.
