The Feature

A feature is not similar to a breaking news story. The techniques are different and the style of writing is different. A feature's style of writing has to be soft and playful for people that have the time to read a feature while hard news stories are more likely to have very direct and to the point writing. A feature should use discriptive language with many adjectives and should be entertaining to some degree.

Yet, as any news story, a feature should contain accurate facts and detailed information for the reader to understand fully. The reporter can write on a profile or an event in his feature but the importance in writing a good feature is that the reporter must be very well informed of whatever he or she is writing about. The introduction is also significant in a good feature because you want to be sure to attract your audience.
