How to put commas ?

I've found following sentence in a BBC article.


There’s evidence however that the wrong kind of coverage of a species can reinforce alarming attitudes.


However, my question is why they didn't use commas between "however" such as in following sentence which I've added those.


There’s evidence, however, that the wrong kind of coverage of a species can reinforce alarming attitudes.

dileepa However, my question is why they didn't use commas between "however" This is the individual author's choice. Perhaps the author felt that commas looked a bit too fussy or interrupted the flow — if he or she considered it at all, that is. Different people may prefer different styles.
