noun
- each of a set of punctuation marks, single (‘ ’) or double (“ ”), used (1) either to mark the beginning and end of a title or quoted passage or (2) to indicate that a word or phrase is regarded as slang or jargon or is being discussed rather than used within the sentence.
ASSIGNMENT TODAY: The next step after writing your news lead is inserting a quotation. Let's begin by reviewing the rules for quotation usage. Note particularly the use of a quote within a quotation!

"Overall, directed pulsed RF (radio frequency) energy, especially in those with the distinct early manifestations, appears to be the most plausible mechanism in explaining these cases among those that the committee considered," the report said. |

NOTES FOR DIRECT QUOTATIONS:
1. Start the quotation with a capital letter. |
2. Place commas and periods INSIDE the quotation marks. |
3. Place semicolons and colons OUTSIDE the quotation marks. |
4. Place question marks and exclamation marks INSIDE the quotation marks if the quotation itself is a question or an exclamation. 5. Place question marks and exclamation marks OUTSIDE the quotation marks if the quotation itself is NOT a question or exclamation. |
USE SINGLE QUOTATION MARKS to enclose a quotation
inside another quotation.
Examples: !!!!!! |
 |
If the quotation within another quotation is a question or an exclamation, place appropriate punctuation next to the item concerned. Examples: |
Question quotation inside statement quotation  Statement quotation inside question quotation  |
Question quotation inside question quotation  |
Exclamation quotation inside question quotation or Question quotation inside exclamation quotation Look carefully..these are tricky!  |
