Hard News

The Hard News classifier is a specialized text classifier that operates on news posts. It is meant to identify news containing authoritative, fact-based, and timely events. It differentiates between ‘soft news’, which focuses on more opinion-based content that is narrow in scope.

Statistics

Example Use Cases

The Hard News classifier identifies objective news articles versus subjective, more fact versus opinion-based, and consists of timely events. For example, using the hard news classifier on a keyword search on news sources can help the searcher find content about recent incidents while filtering out editorials, commentary, or opinion pieces that may contain those keywords but are not specific news reports.
