: Re: Term for when you split a quote to say 'said so and so' in Journalism and Reporting? I'll make this short. I'm writing a personal profile for a news story and I'm looking for alternatives

"Bob Said" is an "attribution". It attributes the spoken words to a particular person.

Alternatives include...

an "introductory phrese" such as... "According to Bob, " or "Bob reported that " followed by the quote in its entirety.

an "introductory sentence" such as...
"During a recent interview with Bob, the expert had much to say on the subject of whatever we are reporting on." followed by several quotes. The reader is thus invited to believe that all subsequent statements are Bob's until another interviewee is introduced.
