Numbers are a part of a news story that adds fact and credibility to what a journalist is writing.
In news stories, numbers are used as a way to add fact and validity to what is being said.
Numbers also play a key role in addressing how important a story is. For example, two murder stories may sound similar at first, but when it becomes known that one involved the murder of a single person, and the other was a mass slaughter of 30, it makes a situation even more shocking and dire than what may have initially been implied.
