Why do numbers matter in writing stories?

Numbers matter in writing stories because accuracy is always important. No one wants to read a newspaper where the numbers are not correct, even if they are off by a little bit, people will still want to read another paper. Another reason numbers matter in writing stories is because the number of words, matter. In any type of media there is a limited amount of words you can say or write. Most times the editor or organizer will give you a certain amount of words you have to stay under. If you do not follow this, your boss will be annoyed, and your story will get cut off anyway. You must include the most important information at the top, and then keep the rest of the story to what is strictly relevant because the end may be cut off.
