Title: Quotes

Hey dudes and dudettes,

When I quote something, can I put the companies name (e.g. dailymail) instead of the actual author?

Best practice is to quote the author; however, if you were trying to make the point that the DailyMail, as an example, has a particular voice (i.e. an idiotic one) then you could probably get away with quoting the organisation in lieu of the author.
