Mirror Style

No, I'm not talking about a fashion supplement. I'm talking about the "house style" of a newspaper, a magazine or a website. Often called a "style book" or a "style sheet," the house style helps establish an individual look and also a uniformity to encourage clarity and accuracy. Some news organizations like the Telegraph in London have their own style books. Others use The Associated Press Style Book or The New York Times Manual of Style and Usage. We have both in the ZU Mirror Room. But we will be using The Zayed University Editorial Style Guide. Please bookmark and/or print out and refer to it constantly as you write, edit or design.

I Think it is important for us to ahve a style sheet. I'll make the work much much easier.
