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) also
it contain main detail as well minor details, as for now we are in 21st
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 that 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
21st 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
