Searching yesterday for an up-to-date new media style guide, I found a couple of April 2008 stories reporting that Wired.com had one in the works.
But those two reports — Wired plots a new style for Web journalists and A Style Guide for a New Media — were the only things I found.
Even Wired.com had nothing to report.
I contacted editor-in-chief Evan Hansen last night and received a rapid response via e-mail:
"this project was back burnered following some layoffs last year. we have no current ETA for a release at this time."
So, for now, I guess, we'll be sticking with The Associated Press Stylebook, The Chicago Manual of Style, common sense and the style sheet of our favorite organization, publication or client.
And we'll be waiting to see if and when Wired.com reboots its effort.
