Fletcher Calhoun · Answer 1

The 5W + H methodology considers the following questions when assessing an issue: What?, Who?, Where? When?, Why?, and How?.

Soft News generally centers in the life of certain individuals such as public figures. The sense of urgency regarding this type of news is of little to none.

Therefore, Soft News will focus on Who? as its main subject of development at the moment of making a publishing in newspapers, radio, or television.
