Hard news articles are written so the reader can stop reading at any time, and still come away
with the whole story. This is very different from an essay, which presumes that the audience will
stick around to the end, and can therefore build to a finish. There is no need to put a
"conclusion" on a news story. Each individual reader will "end" the story whenever he or she
gets bored. A particularly interested reader will keep reading to the end.
