Final Questions
A. I think that the major differences between a hard news story and an opinions piece is that opinion pieces are supposed to be about the writer’s opinion while a hard news story is supposed to mainly be all fact. Another difference is that a hard news story has a lot of quotes, while opinion piece have little to no quotes. Another big difference is that a hard news story usually follows the LTQT style writing while an opinion piece does not.
B. I think that there aren’t very many photos on this page in order to not mislead the reader, that way the reader can form their own opinion based on the reading.
C. I think that sports, new trends, and school policies are three topics that would be good to write opinion pieces on.
