: Re: How to write ages and dates in a newspaper article inside a work of fiction I'm trying to write a newspaper article inside my work of fiction. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to write ages

There is actually quite a variety in the way dates are depicted in a newspaper article.

It depends, as usual, on the nature of the event. Please note that the samples below are all fairly old. A quick scan of today's newspapers and on-line publications seems to show that detailed dates are on the decline, with just plain weekdays mentioned most frequent for subjects that happened at a specific moment.

Some samples:

'Thursday night' for a well-known headline event.

'April 6' for a snippet about an obscure discovery.

'Friday, Dec. 9' for a courtroom report.
