You've been asking for this one for years. We heard you.
We announced a change in AP style at the @ACESEditors conference today: It's now healthcare, one word, in all uses.
We also changed childcare and daycare, closing them up to one word rather than two.
This guidance is live on AP Stylebook Online now.

Massive rallies. Non-stop gunfire. The smell of gunpowder. Hospitals treating the injured amidst an internet blackout this evening ... This is a brutal clash between the limits of people's power and the raw force of the state

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Pittsburgh's largest and oldest newspaper, is being shut down by its owners.

This announcement comes shortly after the journalists at the paper won a historic 3-year strike.

[Steve Inskeep @NPRinskeep]

So many ironies.

NYT, WaPo (and NPR and others) gave up Pentagon passes rather than sign a restrictive media policy that cast them as a security threat.

It didn’t stop them from learning critical information, which they handled responsibly as they so often have.
