Ann:   Not at all.
Int:     Great. So, what kind of newspaper do you read?
Ann:   Well, I don't get one every day but I prefer broadsheet papers because
           they're well- written and informative.
Int:      You don't read tabloids then.
Ann:    No, because you have to take everything they write with a
           pinch of salt. It's not really news.
Int:      What about gossip magazines? Do you ever read them?
Ann:   Oh, occasionally. Just for fun. I think everyone enjoys a bit of scandal

Int:      Do you believe the stories in them?
Ann:   Not really. You can't believe everything you read, can you?
Int:     Did you know that nearly all the people who took part in our survey today
