Hard news vs. Soft news

I found an article on www.bellinghamherald.com , that is talking about the legalization of marijuana in Colorado. This is definitely hard news because it has to do with politics. This news article is very well known because it has to do with the government and the president.

The second hard news article that I found was on “ABC News”. It is all about Obama winning the 2012 Election. This is definitely hard news for the same reasons as above. It is all about the presidency & the government.

I also found an article on the government police website, stating facts about a missing man from Blackville. I believe that this would be soft news because it isn’t well known. It is about a man from a small-town place.

The second article I found on soft news was on the “CBC News” website. It is an article explaining to you that the obesity gene possibly could be stopping depression. This is definitely soft news. It has nothing to do with politics or government, and really isn’t that interesting.
