The latest on The Latest AP has been rolling out a new format for writing and filing text news stories: The Latest. With a live-blog presentation that includes time-stamped, running updates, The Latest is an easy way to quickly identify what's happening and post breaking news. The Latest provides fresh bursts of information that can easily be incorporated into newscast scripts or stories, and is tailored for use on digital, social and mobile platforms. In coming weeks, we'll be using The Latest in more stories to help get developing news out even faster. You'll notice stories done in this format, with more and more frequent updates. Want to know more? Check out our blog post (http://bit.ly/1OPXJ3u) for information on how The Latest came to be. Questions can be emailed to us at bnadler@ap.org. ___________________________________________________________________
