One of the most important thing that news reporters have to understand is that they cant state their opinion in the story. They have to be neutral and give all points of view equal and fair consideration in the story: spot news. More latitude for the reporter to include opinioned things. Combination of a factual and not as personal. What the newspaper thinks about the issue. I didn"t know i had taken money twice said the mayor: said" is a very neutral word, its more believable. I didn"t know i had taken money twice claimed the mayor: claimed implies that he may be lying. I didn"t know i had taken money twice explained the mayor: explained implies that the mayor might have been defending himself, also displays authority ex. If a prof is making a statement and they are explaining an idea. You want to be clear but not offended readers.
