Publications Editorial Style
Loyola University New Orleans Magazine (LUNOM); the Undergraduate, Graduate, and Law Bulletins; and all other official university publications will follow primarily Webster’s Standard American Style Manual, Webster’s New World Dictionary, U.S. News & World Report Stylebook, and The Little, Brown Handbook. The Chicago Manual of Style and Words Into Type are also commonly used references.
The Associated Press Stylebook is followed for news releases and Loyola At A Glance. In general, publications style is slightly more formal than news release style. Because stylebooks sometimes vary, this official Loyola University Editorial Style Guide outlines style practices specific to Loyola University New Orleans.
