What makes a good profile?

A good profile should represent the person being presented in the best way possible without the journalist presenting a bias or opinion on their character. It should include not only accurate and informative facts, but facts the person both approves of and encourages to be written in the piece. The piece should be not only concise and to the point, but is also an informative soft news piece, written for the purpose of representing the person as accurately as possible. What’s important about a profile, is people look to reading them to learn about what a person is like, such as a celebrity, outside of the spotlight, which makes profiles the perfect way to represent the person as a real human instead of as a societal figure.
