The difference between hard news reporting and commentary?: the level of depth that goes into analyzing the causes and consequences of a political event that has affected the population.
Hard news reporting is based on facts, they describe the political event at a local or a national level in the format of news, they don't analyze the event they just report what happened.
While commentary provides an in-depth analysis of the event and its development, these articles seek to explain the significance of the event or why it was caused.
