Feature Story’s
Print and online journalism have a lot of stories in their literature. The stories will vary in length and content. Feature stories are the most common type of story. They are able to cover a lot of information compared to a quick news article. The feature story is able to go in depth and not only give the audience a quick over view, like hard news.
The first step when writing a feature is to plan it. The author must research the topic to know everything there is to know about it. He must use that research to then choose an angle. He will narrow the information down slightly to make the news feature interesting and engaging. This process will involve a lot of brainstorming before the actual writing will occur.
After planning the feature story, the author will now write it. The author can either use an attention grabber to draw in the reader or he can use a narration method to keep the story growing. In the feature, one must use a picture, quotations and be descriptive to convey the story properly to the reader. The nice element with writing a feature story is length. Length tends to be a lot longer in a feature because the editor or producer for the work wants the audience to be very knowledgeable on the topic.
Once the feature is written, it will go through edits to ensure it is at the best quality it can be. The feature will be formatted according to its medium and will then be released. The best features have a great attention grabber and great content to keep the reader focused. They do this with visuals, quotes, and writing style.
