There are many things that you must remember whilst writing a hard news story. One of those include using correct and true facts, other than opinionated facts made up by the reporter. It is Imperative that you use true facts because then, when the story is printed, you could anger people if the facts weren't true. Oh and you could lose your job.
Also another thing you should keep in mind while writing a hard news story is to write the most important things in the beginning so you get readers hooked on your story and to leave the less important stuff for the end or better yet, take it out. I mean, nobody wants to read a story about how "the house was blue" or " the victim was wearing plaid" the people want to read that "The gigantic blue house burnt down to the ground in ashes" and "A man got shot with sixteen bullets while wearing a plaid shirt."
Remember these things and you will be the best hard news writer ever!
