Direct quotations

Direct quotations are word-for-word reports of what the speaker said. These are the exact words of the speaker and are written in complete sentences and enclosed in quotation marks.

Some minor deviation from the exact words is acceptable if it will not change the meaning of what was said, especially if the speaker uses expressions or filler words (“um,” “uh,” etc.) that would just clutter up the quote.


Indirect quotes 

Indirect quotes are a summary of what the speaker said, and quotation marks are not used. The speaker’s ideas are used, but the reporter does not use the speaker’s exact words. 

The advantages of using an indirect quote are that the reporter can condense the substance of what was said without changing the meaning, and it is a good way to make sense out of something the interviewee said that might have been unclear or ungrammatical. 

Indirect quotes can be used as transitional statements. 




Reflection 

For me the most meaningful activities learning this week was happened when I try to understanding about Journal: News Gathering and Interviewing 

Having read about It now I realise my knowledge about how to be a good writer or blogger increase because I can Understanding it and I hope the material about news gathering and interviewing will be useful to me in the future or maybe start from now because I got so much point that I think the point it’s meaningful to me become a good writer or good interview. when I have learned about this material it’s perhaps helps me to understand about step by step to interview someone and also to be a good write

Actually I want to be a News Anchor and I think this topic (journalists) leads to news anchors too. But later if I did not become a news anchor I should be a teacher or lecturer. I don’t just hope to be a news anchor, teacher, or lecturer. not just hope/expect but I will achieve what I hope or what I dream of. so bismillah I will and I don’t just hope but I have to make it happen and achieve it Aamiin.

I hope I Will more productive, diligent, not spend my time useless, always remember if I’m lazy to learn, I will lose and my dreams it won't come true.
