Black Panther Stars Surprise a Student With a Full Scholarship

https://www.teenvogue.com/story/black-panther-stars-surprise-a-student-with-a-full-scholarship



This is an example of soft news. The article is about the stars of Black Panther providing a scholarship to a student set up by Walt Disney Studios.

This appeals to an audience as it fits with the values of the organisation to empower women and represent those of BAME descent. I think this is clickbait, it's not hard news. But I do think it reflects the values and ideologies of the website. People who are going to university soon will look up to this as maybe some sense of admiration to the stars and the student who got the scholarship. The target audience of the website is 18-24 so it will get a lot of views.
