I think that "Analysis: Shalit's realease is good news for Israel, but even better news for Hamas" is hard news and soft news as well because of the sentence "While the agreement to release 1,027 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for the freedom of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit is good news for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu" seems like its going to appeal more to polictics and war-like acts so its considered hard news. Also it's has been giving out information on "Not only does Hamas get credit for winning the freedom of about one-sixth of the Palestinians being held in Israeli prisons" which is furthuring Hamas and making him a human interest in the world.
I also think that "U.S. thwarts alleged Iranian government plot to assassinate Saudi envoy, bomb embassies" is hard news because it appeals more to the wars still going on here and there around the world. Also by this sentence "The Obama administration accused elements of Tehran’s Islamic regime of backing a terrorist plot to kill Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to Washington"
I think that New Zealand crews pump oil from grounded ship would be considered as soft news because it appeals mostly to the human interest because of the fact that nobody died and they pumped oil from a ship stuck in the ice.
I think the politics of shipbuilding means rough seas for Harper is considered as soft news because of the line Later this week, the government is expected to announce two winning bidders for most of the work.which is more to the human interest of the government.
Irael's list for prisoners swap release would be considered soft news because of the opening line of Israel has published the names of 477 Palestinian prisoners who will be released in exchange for the captured Israeli soldier, which is more of straight to the point news.
