Question with "deliver"?
Consider this sentence:
More than 200 dedicated reporters and editors in 26 bureaus worldwide deliver a variety of articles of interest to the business and economic community.
"Deliver" means giving a formal speech, lecture, talk, etc. But "article" means "a piece of writing". So how can there be a consonance between the two words in the sentence? Does it mean the reporters and editors gave a formal speech or statements, or does it mean they wrote about the certain topics?
