How to quote quotes? (1 Viewer)

[ND]

When quoting something (say from a newspaper) that contains a quote, what notation is used? Eg. if i were to quote:

A young woman in the bank said to me yesterday: "I've stopped listening to any of the war news. It's all just propaganda."

what should be done? Do you just add another set of quotation marks around that? Or is there something else?
Thanks.

I've never thought about that - if you want to quote an except from the article and what someone said, then I think you should nest the quotation marks. Otherwise, you could just give the origin of the article in brackets I suppose.

My old english teacher told us that you open with two quote marks, this one ---> "
and when you have speech inside, you use the one mark ---> '

So its:

"She reported; 'Millions were protesting'."
