HARD NEWS IS NO NEWS

Hard news are news that’s are found in inverted pyramid. And inverted pyramid is the journalistic style of writing stories that start with introduction which contains the 5Ws and H (who, where, when, why, and how).

it has contain main detail as well minor details, as for now we are in 21^st century the role of inverted pyramid seem to decline at a large speed , but before burying the inverted it is fair to give it a well deserved eulogy, and it is necessary to understand how inverted pyramid existed it was born soon after the commercialisation of the telegraph, at all the inverted pyramid served the journalist around the world well, no doubt , it programmed the thinking of journalists. It constituted and powered so called newsworthiness as well as news value.

The central argument of this is concerns with the whole changes that are occurring in print media, with the use of tradition structure of writing (inverted pyramid) . stories that form as under this old structure are so called hard news as I elaborate before , so now we are in the transformation to the new structure of writing . But hard news are superficial since it is always in deep detail, it tells out the whole meaning of the story and its understandable.

At all the inverted pyramid relies on the reporters interest , what he or she think is the best for the reader and not what the reader is interesting with. And there are other modern newspapers which are on the move to the new style so as to have the large number of readers. 

In the old system, we had hard news written in the inverted pyramid format and sometimes if we were lucky the news became the subject of a feature and news no longer exist. but now the chief difference between straight news written in the inverted pyramid and features story  is the effort of the reporter to be willingly to put into the story. So the argument here is to take a shift to the new style.

               

Newspaper have to play an explanatory role as elaborated more by Yopp and Adams (1999) who acknowledge the changing role of the newspaper story in this era  , that includes newspaper on the internet  that’s for any breaking news it have to published or broadcaster at the same time , the job of magazine and newspaper is to flesh out the headline on television and radio and to provide the substance and follow- up.

To manage or achieved this news paper need to adopt feature formats, using descriptive leads before getting to the nut graphs or the factualness’ , this means that the story heading must attract the reader to go further to main detail . in here the 5Ws H  are not necessary applicable . I f the story was seen in television and heard to the radio the next day of it the news must therefore explain and contextualise what we already saw and heard on the television. And the story should be on pleasurable, captivating pores

For the other meaning, stories in newspaper have to written in so called news featurerised or feature. And for the case that newspaper will continue to be called news paper the distinction between news and feature or news feature will disappear. Tracing back the matter of the fact distinction between news and features began to erode since Second World War.

The implication of this emerging reality for the journalist is sobering. Every one now needs to learn how to write well , how to tell a story , how to conquer words and structures, how to please , how to satisfy the taste of the 21^st century news consumer.

That’s means that the texture of journalism education has to change. Journalism programs need to acknowledge the decline and impending irrelevance of the inverted pyramid and took to the future or become themselves irrelevant.

The good writing has to follow what readers or public want to read. It is the time that reports and writers have to feel the thirsty of writing on what the public want.

I agree with the writer because the drown fact are relevant even to my country situations. And it is necessary to adopt the new style ads we see how cloudy the readership scale of newspaper is decline. so journalist must write investigative stories, as well as integrating internet into every aspect of their operation. 

Also the writers have to shift attention into providing in-depth journalism, analysing fast moving decision. Also the issue of style by creating word picture in which is the hall mark of excellent in newspaper journalism. Again is to provide news analysis, commentaries , feature, article and opinion pieces.
