I wouldn't. Instead, I'd write:



David Mariniss, associate editor of The Washington Post, wrote, "The thrill of baseball has nothing to do..."

No, I would just take out the second Washington Post and make it "writes in his article"

His position does not necessarily mean that the article he writes is published in the paper he works for. It may be assumed, but you know what they say about making assumptions...



So you need to clarify. You can leave it as is, or you can say 'writes in his paper that...'

You can leave the second one out, because you're going to tell us what the source of the quotation was in your citation.

No. Your using it at the beginning and then correctly citing it in-text will cover it.

No, you can drop either one and the meaning will stay the same.
