Hard News vs. Soft News

Spain just announced it is taking control of Catalonia 

           Spain will move to impose direct rule on Catalonia after the region's leader refused to drop his bid for Independence. This is an article that I would describe as Hard news because a Country is trying to take control, Spain claims that they want to restore the constitutional in Catalonia. These are examples of Hard News, it is a battle that Catalonia most likely won't win. Link to Article- ttps://news.vice.com/story/catalonia-spain-direct-rule-article-155 . 

Weed some, Lose some

            A weed website is taken off the internet after being threatened to be sued for copyright infringement. Weeedora is an illegal weed website that is located in Toronto, they had an ad on that breached the copyright act. This is taken as Soft News because it is not affecting anyone else but the company, and it is not a major concern.

Where is your Sanctuary City?

           This article is one that I would describe as a Blurred subject because people know about it, but it is also hard to describe. This Article has to do with people hiding in fear because they do not have a formal immigration status, it is terrible that these people have to hide and that's why I would describe it as Blurred, because it is a well known issue but also hard to describe. It is affecting peoples lives. Link to Article- https://news.vice.com/story/cities-arent-keeping-their-pledges-of-sanctuary-for-undocumented-migrants
