-
Letters to the Editor and Editorials: first person may be used, but third person remains the recommended guideline

Abbreviations should be avoided. (Common
abbreviations may be acceptable in a long article but must be spelled
out immediately followed by the abbreviation in parentheses the first
time it is used.

Lists, Bullet Points, and Subheads should be
avoided. Long lists of names, materials, phone numbers, etc. do not
meet the criteria of a news article and therefore will be edited.
