Abstract

According to author Daniel Boorstin, "Hard news is supposed to be the solid report of significant matters... Soft news reports popular interests (From news Gathering to news Making: A Flood of Pseudo-Events, 89)." America has a skewed view of what news is. Part of this is because they are not taught the difference between hard news and soft. Regardless, the public has a right to know the truth. This was the basis for creating the First Amendment protecting the press. Some of the same journalists that fall back on this law are at fault for misuse of it to project their false intentions. False intentions are the basis of all Pseudo-news. Not saying that all pseudo-news is wrong, I will further explain how this is possible more extensively in this research paper.
