Default Sinkhole vs. Depression

What's the difference between a "sinkhole" and a "depression" in the ground?
Well, I guess it depends on who is reporting it. A story in that notorious other website that cannot be named says that a sinkhole 15 feet in diameter and 25 feet deep opened up outside Hibiscus recreation center yesterday afternoon. This is near Cane Garden Country Club between Bailey Trail and the front side of the rec center.
Meanwhile our delightful daily "newspaper", The Villages Daily Sin describes the same event under the headline "Depression Forms in The Villages". See page A10.
So which do you think it is?
