What a reporter puts in quotation marks is being represented as a direct quote. What's written out in the context of a sentence is a paraphrase or summary.

I received a phone call from the centre of government telling me: "You've had your fun. Now we want the stuff back."

Would be a direct quote.

The demand was the same: hand the Snowden material back or destroy it.

Would be a paraphrase.

Are you done spreading FUD yet?
