When I worked as a programmer for Bloomberg, I was curious what kind of rules the reporters had to follow. It's been more than a decade since I read the Associated Press Stylebook And Libel Manual, and while I feel it is natural to compare the two books, my memory of the AP Stylebook is a little fuzzy.

First, The Bloomberg Way gives a surprisingly specific view of what goes into writing and publishing a story at Bloomberg. There was a time that I toyed with being a journalist or working at a trade magazine. The job still seems fascinating to me.

Second, I remember a chapter in the AP Stylebook about how to handle boring jobs like writing for the business page. Since Bloomberg's audience is largely the finance industry, the majority of stories that appear in Bloomberg publications would count as business stories. And Winkler has insightful advice on how to write compelling stories. Plus, many of the grammar examples are short excerpts from published Bloomberg works that left me wanting to read the rest of the article.

And I finally realized that one of the reasons I read these kinds of books, even though I have no intention of becoming a journalist or working for a trade magazine, is that I'm a curmudgeon, and I enjoy reading complaints from other curmudgeons who are trying to hold the line on the English language.
