In the news industry, numbers can play an important role. They can also hinder and push readers away from an article or a story.
They can make the story more intense by adding to the information or by catching the readers eye or there can be too many numbers in an article which might cause the readers to want to read something less complicated.
Numbers can also be very informative when constructing specific stories such as outlining how many people have died. This can be useful to not only the public, but it can also help rescue agencies such as police and fire in estimating how many people sill could be alive or have died.
