What is with the editorial meme of putting direct quotes of the article you're reading in line with the text of the article?
I've seen this across media. It almost makes sense to me in print (e.g. a magazine), because you can see the whole of the article at once, spread across the pages.
These quotes are often spread out to, I guess, break the flow of rendered/printed paragraphs.
In web content it seems a bit meaningless to me. This article is particularly terrible, as the quotes immediately follow the article text they are quoting.
In print media this made sense because you saw the entire article and these quotes would be picked out. Then upon reading the article you then read the quotes in context. On the web they usually appear directly before or after the sentence and make no sense to include. Especially when you take into account mobile users where there is usually no
space between these quotes appearing and their use in the article.
