Journal #5 Hard News vs. Soft

HARD NEWS
Carnage on the streets of Toronto
I consider this news definitely hard news. I think this because it is about Toronto drivers that are killing pedestrians at an alarming rate and it has to change. It is hard news because it has a strong effect on people being killed and warning people in the world. This is certainly important because people cannot even walk around the city without being in fear of getting hit by a car.

BLURRED NEWS 
Father finds long-lost twin sons in Edmonton 
I consider this blurred news  because it has hard news effects like it pertains to more personal information, but it has a great effect. I would categorize this article as also soft news because it really only effects the life of the father.

SOFT NEWS
John Stamos Announces Engagement to Girlfriend Caitlin McHugh: 'She said Yes' . This article is an example of soft news because it is only entertaining the fans of  star John Stamos. It does not go into anything serious. It doesn't grab the worlds attention like hard news would or effect the world.
