Speech: No First Person!

In journalism, we do not use first-person references outside of quotes.

That means if you are writing about problems facing our youths, you need to take out the "our" and either leave it unfilled or replace it with something that's non-first-personish, like the nation's youths.

Using first-person references betray our standing as unbiased observers with no personal stake in the outcome.

Our, we, I ... if not in a quote, take it out.
