Who's this guy?

What makes a good profile?


Profiles are great because they really capture who a person is. It allows the reader to get past what the media and tabloids are saying about that person and really get to have a chance to see the day in the life of that person. I love profiles because it humanizes those featured, most of whom are famous.

I love reading the hooks to start the story because it gives you a chance to see the writer’s style of writing and then what to expect with that style for the rest of the story.

The body of the profile will always include some sort of extravagant story and I just look forward to hearing about it.

Profiles are a useful source of news because it gives readers a chance to read about something other than nightly events or issues, but just a normal day in the life of a person, and lets the readers in on some things they may have in common with these prominent people.
