"In the distance, I could see a little bit of dust and then obviously there was a caravan in the bush," she said.

The sentence states an evaluation in the narrator's voice instead of attributing it to a named source. The cue appears in attributed or quoted language, so its score is reduced.

Useful context, not penalties

Attributed claims 2
Attribution helps readers distinguish a source's claim from the article narrator's own assertion.

"In the distance, I could see a little bit of dust and then obviously there was a caravan in the bush," she said.
Uncertainty qualifiers 1
Qualifiers such as may, might, or reportedly are disclosed as technique but do not add framing-risk points by themselves.

"In the distance, I could see a little bit of dust and then obviously there was a caravan in the bush," she said.
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.

"In the distance, I could see a little bit of dust and then obviously there was a caravan in the bush," she said.
