Trib changes style

I just read a style note that I missed when it came out in November. (Thanks to Common Sense Journalism for mentioning it.)

Last month, the public editor at the Chicago Tribune wrote that the paper was changing its style on fetus.

A new edition of the stylebook, scheduled for publication shortly, will permit the use of "unborn child" when the fetus is in the third trimester of gestation.

The Associated Press stylebook does not have an entry.
