Document Summary
Transparency: to show readers, viewers, listeners that what we are saying is true, we must attribute. Be as specific and detailed as possible (within reason) Anything that is not a known fact. Beginning of sentence (useful when introducing a person for the first time or for clarity) End (preferred once you have introduced a source) Not needed in every paragraph that contains a quote from the same person. Primarily quoting one person as a reminder to the reader. Right: our country is the greatest, the president said. Wrong: the president said our country is the greatest. Right: the president said this country is the greatest. But it depends on what you are trying to do: Ok: , said police, who are investigating the matter. , said smith, who is in charge at the center. Not ok: , the dean said, who promised to look into it. In general, use past tense throughout your story, and be consistent.
