The Associated Press has announced that the new stylebook includes a new section on food writing. According to the press release: "“With all the cooking shows, blogs and magazines focusing on food, as well as growing interest in organic and locally sourced foods, our new food section feels timely and on trend,” said Colleen Newvine, product manager of the AP Stylebook. “With this new addition to the AP Stylebook, The Associated Press is proud to bring clarity to the writing that describes and informs the new food movement.”
This information really dismisses the important role of one of the four Fs of the women's pages. (The other three are family, fashion and furnishings.) The food editors of women's pages were covering recipes and food news going back for decades prior to the introduction of the Food Network, Top Chef and food blogs.
