SPECIAL EDITIONS ADVISORY
Editors: Because of rapidly changing developments caused by the coronavirus, The AP will not be moving any more Special Editions in 2020. We plan to continue spot and feature coverage of these subjects — weddings, pursuits, school, homes, pets and holidays — on the regular AP Lifestyles and main news wires. If you have questions, please contact Julia Rubin at jrubin@ap.org or Barry Bedlan at bbedlan@ap.org.

LIFESTYLES ADVISORY
Editors: During this uncertain time, we are pleased to provide you with more timely content for Lifestyles that speaks to how we are living, adapting and coping during the coronavirus pandemic. As we increase that coverage, we have altered our standard weekly offerings for the time being. Our gardening column will move bimonthly. Food stories will be guaranteed at least twice a month. Home stories will be guaranteed at least twice a month. While the kind of content we provide is changing for now, our commitment to providing excellent Lifestyles articles is not. For further questions, please contact Julia Rubin at jrubin@ap.org or Barry Bedlan at bbedlan@ap.org.
