Yes! "Edutainment" texts try to inform AND entertain. A charity campaign might inform you about a crisis, but the real purpose is to persuade you to donate! auto_stories

Look at the language! A real news article will be objective. If a "news" article keeps using loaded words to praise a specific product, it is an ad in disguise. warning

Because their purpose is to ENTERTAIN! Adjectives help create a movie in the reader's mind. Informative texts don't need that, so they use fewer adjectives. theater_comedy
