A. A difference between hard news and an opinion story is that opinion stories are written in first person usually, and a hard news story is written in third. Another difference is that a hard news story uses quotes from multiple different sources, and an opinion piece doesn't use any quotes. Also, a hard news story is full of facts with hardly any opinions, and an opinion story is based off of an opinion and evidence that supports it.
B. I think there aren't many photos because photos take up space, and if there are less photos more copy can be on the page. A photo is up for a person's interpretation, and with an opinion story it's one sided, so if the photo would have a chance to go against their stance.
C. - Does technology help or hurt in the classroom?
- Is dance a sport or fine art?
- Should students be required to take a physical education class every year?
