if a source expresses opinion, use a quotation
a major or complex story needs more than one quoted source
information that contains facts should normally be used as unquoted material
make sure the speaker of all quotations is properly identified use said as the verb to attribute the quote
direct quotes
the exact word for word account of what a source said enclosed in quotation marks and attributed to source
indirect quotes
a summary of what the speaker said reworded by the reporter
partial quotes
a combination of a adirect quotation and a paraphrase
fragmentary quotes
a single word or short phrase used by a source that is included in a paraphrase enclosed in quotation marks and attributed to the source
use direct quotations to express a speakers unique point of view personality or manner of speaking
usin idirect quotes when you need to rephrase what the speaker said to make it more clear to the reader
use partial quotes to make colorful or memorable words stand out but overuse can make writing seem jumpy and too cute
