I'm trying to write a newspaper article inside my work of fiction. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to write ages and dates in this article. I took journalism in college, and I know that if I am submitting an article to a newspaper, I would need to write ages and dates as numbers: July 22, 2016, Nathan Smith, 34. But if I am putting this in a work of fiction, do I do it like this, or do I write the ages and dates as words? For example: John Smith, 37, was arrested on July 10, 2016, or John Smith,, thirty-seven was arrested on July tenth, twenty-sixteen. Any help will be appreciated.
