1) a direct quote from a source,
2) to indicate slang,
3) or to denote a common term for something that was difficult to put into writing.
Today though journalists use quotes to:
1) provide emphasis,
2) to indicate doubt,
3) or to invert meaning.
Often I really have no idea why the quotes are there. Anyways...
My favourite quotes of today are:
UN aid mission 'to visit Sudan'
From this article:
Some 670,000 people have fled "ethnic cleansing" by Arab militias in Darfur but remain in Sudan, with little aid.Chinese hostages in Iraq 'freed'
