Numbers are Needed

Numbers can be crucial in certain stories.

Depending on their usage they can divulge valuable information to your reader and make a story more comprehensible.

Numbers are also useful in backing up what you have previously said by using a statistic.

Numbers are also useful when trying to convey the importance of an event your covering. For example you can talk and report on the biggest game of the season, but when you say that the stands were packed with over 200 fans it really drives that point home.

Numbers seem like a very basic element however they become much greater when you think of how difficult a story would be to write without them.
