Why might a writer choose active voice ('The manager signed the contract') over passive voice ('The contract was signed by the manager') in a news report?

Active voice makes the sentence longer and more poetic. Active voice hides the identity of the person performing the action. Active voice creates wordiness and indirect emphasis. Active voice clearly identifies the actor and provides direct, concise action.
