Attribution helps readers distinguish a source's claim from the article narrator's own assertion.

NSW Police said two people had been taken into custody and there was no ongoing threat to public safety.
Uncertainty qualifiers 1
Qualifiers such as may, might, or reportedly are disclosed as technique but do not add framing-risk points by themselves.

"He went away and that's when my friend called the police because we didn't know where he was going and he could have a real gun."
Attributed framing cues 1
Attributed or quoted cues remain visible, but their score contribution is reduced to avoid assigning a speaker's wording to the reporter.
