A key point in our race-related coverage entry: Consider carefully when deciding whether to identify people by race. Often, it is an irrelevant factor and drawing unnecessary attention to someone’s race or ethnicity can be interpreted as bigotry. #APStyleChat (1/3)
There are, however, occasions when race is pertinent. That includes reporting on a demonstration, disturbance or other conflict involving race (including verbal conflicts), or issues like civil rights. #APStyleChat (2/3)
In other situations when race is an issue, use news judgment. Include racial or ethnic details only when they are clearly relevant and that relevance is explicit in the story. #APStyleChat (3/3)
