For my Journalism class, I am supposed to come up with a few ideas for a hard news article that will be due next week. I understand all about leads and how the approach can really distinguish what is hard news and what is soft news, but I am a little confused about the topics that can be used for either. I heard about a 29 year old woman who was deaf all her life and because of a recent surgery, she was able to hear for the first time. I want to write about this but I'm not 100% sure that this is hard news and I wanted to make sure. Could someone help me out please?
