In 2014, an AP editor indicated that when referencing PSAs, once must spell out "public service announcement" (lowercase) in the first reference and write "the announcement" in second reference. Is that still accurate? And can I take that to mean that PSA as an acronym is never acceptable, even in headlines?

Thank you!

How do you write the plural form for the abbreviation RVs (recreation vehicles)?

According to AP, is putting a comma before the "too" found at the end of a sentence a personal style choice or is it only supposed to be there when the “too” refers to the object of the sentence? 

Ex. “I like her braid, too.” or “I like her braid too.”

 

Does it bother you that the location and date at the end of an "Ask the Editor" question do not follow AP style?  So: from Pahrump, Nevada on Jan. 03, 2019 instead of from Pahrump, Nev., on Jan. 3, 2019. ("Ask the Editor" is a fantastic teaching tool for the students in my journalism courses. So my question is mainly an excuse to send some fan mail.)

If you're quoting multiple times from an email in the same article, should you repeat "in an email" with each attribution, or is "says" alone OK after the first instance of "says in an email"? For example, if you write, "'This is a great idea,' Joe Smith says in an email" in the first paragraph, could you say later in the article, "'I disagree completely,' Smith says," or do you have to repeat "in an email" in all subsequent attributions?

If you’re reporting on an award that is given yearly and want to use the same description of the award year to year, is that self-plagiarism if you do not cite the description? For example, if you said, “The Greatest Young Editor of the Year Award recognizes editors under 40 years old who make the most thoughtful edits and who have demonstrated a commitment to the field” in an article last year, could you repeat the same description about the award this year without quotation marks or attribution to the previous article? If you should attribute it, how would you word it? What if the description is not yours but written by an organization? Should you use quotation marks and attribute it to the organization? For example, “Greatest Editing Organization issues the Greatest Young Editor of the Year Award to ‘editors under 40 years old who make the most thoughtful edits and who have demonstrated a commitment to the field’”?

Hello. Wondering about buy-side, buy side; sell-side, sell side. Would AP hyphenate them as modifiers and use two words when not? Or would they be combined as one word in either situation?

Examples for the first option: The market is extremely tight, with almost no availability in sight, a buy-side source said; The market is extremely tight, with almost no availability in sight, according to a source on the sell side.

Thanks very much,
Richard
