1. Hawthorne suggests that reporters shouldn't write about a subject, but instead they should write about people involved in that subject. For example he says that focusing a story on one person who had they're life changed because of poor working conditions in meatpacking houses is better than just writing about the poor conditions in general. Hawthorne also suggests to use a lot of dramatic devices like drama, character, conflict, dialogue, order, anticipation, climax, and resolution on top of your typical who, what, when, where, why, and how.
2. Hawthorne says to use more human elements and dramatic devices instead of the inverted pyramid. He suggests using drama and conflict and focus the story around one or two people. The reporter should have add more dialogue between characters instead of using dialogue the character told the reporter. Hawthorne advises that the writer should have a plan for the order of the story before starting to write. Adding anticipation, a climax, and a resolution help the story gain excitement before concluding the story in a way that leaves the reader satisfied. Most importantly Hawthorne says to write about specific people and how they are affected by the topic.
You should have mentioned theme in the first answer. Otherwise, these answers are excellent. I like how you referenced the meat-packing article. That shows careful reading. 100
