News and Technology (Part 2)
News can become valuable also depend on the audience, not only related to where they live, but also what they are. Different groups have different lifestyle and differences of them have their interest in different types of information. For example, to the younger audience, they target the news programme will mostly about music and sports stars, but to the order and more affluent audience who will be interested on business news. About the types of news, hard news is basically the major information of the same day on the newspaper, which published on the front of page or the top of the page for a class of news. Such as war, politics, business and crime are often the subject of hard news. This kind of news has a time-sensitive and controversial, which can produce a wide- ranging implications. The local residents also need access to these relevant information immediately, because these subjects of news are all related with people’s daily life in closely. Actually, in recent years, television has been in general and local TV News in particular. However, both of them have become a part of everyday life. (Jeremy Harris Lipschultz, Michael L. Hilt, 2002: p1)
On the other hand, the subject is not the only standard to distinguish between hard and soft news. In most cases, the ways of writing of hard and soft news are also different. Hard news is usually directly into the subject, which make the readers understand the most important information as soon as possible. However, the soft news is often anecdotal or specific cases as a prelude to take the reader’s interest, so it may be necessary to wait for a while, and then to reach the main content. In addition, some news writing combines hard and soft together, they do not have a strong time-sensitive but focus on the major issues.
