Publication's writing rules
House style is an organization's set of conventions for writing, formatting, and presentation.
Publishers, newspapers, and companies maintain house style guides to ensure consistency across their output: The house style requires serial commas.
Writers working for an organization adapt to its house style rather than following personal preferences.
