Guides & Stylebooks for Newsroom and Media Coverage
Association of LGBTQ Journalists
NLGJA: The Association of LGBTQ+ Journalists is a journalist-led association working within the news media to advance fair and accurate coverage of LGBTQ+ communities and issues. We promote diverse and inclusive workplaces by holding the industry accountable and providing education, professional development and mentoring.
Since its founding in 1990, the organization has grown to include more than 800 members and 25 chapter organizations, including 10 student chapters, in the United States.
The Stylebook on LGBTQ+ Terminology is intended to complement the prose stylebooks of individual publications, as well as the AP Stylebook, the leading stylebook in U.S. newsrooms.
It reflects the association’s mission of inclusive coverage of LGBTQ+ people, includes entries on words and phrases that have become common and features greater detail for earlier entries.
This stylebook seeks to be a guide on language and terminology to help journalists cover LGBTQ+ subjects and issues with sensitivity and fairness, without bias or judgment. Because language is always changing, this guide is not definitive or fully inclusive. When covering the LGBTQ+ community, we encourage you to use the language and terminology your subjects use. They are the best source for how they would like to be identified.
El Manual de Estilo Sobre La Comunidad Lesbiana, Gay, Bisexual y Transgénero
La Asociación Nacional de Periodistas Lesbianas y Gays (NLGJA por sus siglas en inglés), incluye periodistas, profesionales, educadores y estudiantes que trabajan en los medios de comunicación y promueven la inclusión de la comunidad lesbiana, gay, bisexual y transgénero (LGBT).
Trans Journalists Association Style Guide
The Trans Journalists Association’s Style Guide is a tool reporters, editors and other media makers can use to begin to improve trans coverage. It gives insight into appropriate language, common shortcomings, and steps journalists can take to make their coverage better. While this guide provides a strong foundation for covering trans communities with sensitivity and care, trans communities are incredibly diverse. The language some trans people use to describe themselves and their communities might be different from or even contradict parts of this guide. Reporting well on trans communities requires nuance and care, and this guide is only a starting point.

National Association of Black Journalists Style Guide
NABJ Style is offered as a style book for newsrooms and others on terms and language usage of special interest or relevance to our membership and our community. It is meant to be as much a resource for our own members as for anyone else in newsrooms and journalism classrooms as well as other students, educators and researchers, etc.
National Association of Hispanic Journalists Cultural Competence Handbook
The term “cultural competence” refers to the ability to understand, appreciate and interact with people from a broad range of backgrounds, experiences and viewpoints with respect.
THE PURPOSE OF THIS MANUAL IS TO HELP JOURNALISTS, STUDENTS AND ACADEMICS:
Communicate with and about diverse collectives, recognizing the differences or variety in people’s identities or experiences –– ethnicity, race, national origin, language, gender, religion, ability, sexual orientation, socioeconomic class, immigration status, etc.
Develop a working vocabulary related to diversity issues, avoiding stereotypes
This NAHJ Cultural Competence Handbook is intended to complement the Stylebooks of individual publications such as The Associated Press stylebook –– the leading stylebook in U.S. newsrooms.
The handbook reflects NAHJ’s mission to promote fair, accurate and inclusive coverage of the Latino community.
The Hispanic population in the United States is diverse. With this consideration in mind, we conceived this manual as a living, breathing document that will change as the conversation with users and the experience of journalists require it. This guide will have a Spanish-language version to promote fair and accurate coverage of Latino issues and people within Spanishlanguage publications.
Native American Journalists Association Reporting Guides
The Indigenous Media Guides will help reporters meet these standards by providing a context checklist to consider when reporting on First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities.
Our Website
Our website contains an array of resources and tools to support your journey with YAKIMA PRIDE. As you explore its contents, please keep in mind:
We are not recommending any of the resources, organizations, and services listed in these pages nor can we assure their quality and integrity. Instead, we are presenting information that we’ve heard about. Consider it a starting point for your own thorough investigation and perform due diligence.
The contents or appropriateness of certain materials and resources might not suit your needs and tastes. Much is family-friendly, but some contain frank and even explicit discussions of human sexuality and gender. Our hope is that by presenting a range of options, much of which has helped our other members, you’ll find your own path of education and discovery.
We generally describe websites and organizations using their own tag lines, though it might be edited for clarity and brevity.
