ON THE USE OF QUOTATIONS IN THE NEWS DISCOURSE
The news discourse construction process involves “all three players: sources, journalists,
and audience members operating in the universe of shared culture and on the basis of socially
defined roles” [7]. Essentially,
reporters act as scholars, gathering authoritative data and then
presenting it without explicitly taking a side in the discourse. Experts and officials—as
sources—become the providers of this data, so that reporters become beholden to them for the
raw materials of news [4]. On their own, reporters are not allowed to provide an opinion—
even when reporting on an event—so that interpretation is limited to such things as crowd-size
estimates,
descriptions of settings, depictions of how people appeared,
and what those people
said. By following this source-driven process, reporters become society’s scientists and the news
they produce becomes their “scientific report”— their truth [2].
This occurs in part because both politicians and interest groups take an increasingly
proactive approach to amplify their views of what an issue is about. However, news media also
play an active role in framing public policy issues. Thus, this article illustrates how the selection
of quotations can enable the reporter to indirectly convey the intended message. For example:

the truth about the UK’s relationship with the EU.

There is no point spending up to £5m of public money on an excellent review and
