Why is hero in quotes?
I’m guessing because it was a quote from the NSW Premier who praised the guy. Putting it in quotes makes it clear the news outlet isn’t labeling him a hero (which would be editorializing) and is instead quoting someone else (news reporting).
It feels a little silly in this situation where any reasonable person would label the guy a hero, but it is standard journalistic practice.
Ask abc. It was taken from the title, but it seems to have been changed.
Who’s taking the pictures?
