Hemingway can’t stop with “said.“ How would the story have changed if he had?

Diction in non-fiction Word choice matters tremendously in all types of writing, and journalists want people to read their work. In your opinion, which of these styles should be most careful about diction? --news --opinions --sports --features

Compare these statements. The mayor said he trusts his advisors. The mayor suggested he trusts his advisors. The mayor argued that he trusts his advisors. The mayor talked about his advisors. What is the impact of each verb following “The mayor…”? Do those verbs say the same things? Is diction conveying bias here?

What about these? Do they really say the same thing? Over 900 people participated in the campaign drive. Fewer than 1,000 people participated in the campaign drive. How does diction impact readers here?

This happens often in sports journalism Compare yesterday’s Red Sox-Yankees headlines. From the Boston Globe: Red Sox offense flat in loss to Yankees From the New York Daily News: Yankees beat Red Sox, climb within four games of American League wild card spot Hiroki Kuroda fired seven superb innings of one-run ball, holding the Red Sox to four hits and no walks, striking out eight
