A question about the gerund

Hurrying is a present participle, not a gerund.

I see no difference in meaning in the two sentences.

To respondent 002,

What do you mean by "there should be a difference." Is there a difference or not? What is 'should be"? Is it your value judgement? Values are relative. There is no right and wrong about values. Get it?

Yes, hurrying is a PP, not a gerund, but does it mean there is no difference in meaning between the sentences? I'd say no! There should be a slightly difference. Grammar tells us no difference, but syntax tells us a difference in meaning.

The first sentence is describing the whole event of her.

The second sentence focuses on the news has been brought in a quick and efficient way.
