A good feature can grab the attention of the audience without piling all the information in the beginning of the story. Even more, a feature includes outside information that isn’t normally included in news stories, and address all aspects of the story. When writing a feature, the author can include a lot more detail and information, while making a longer story for the audience. A feature story allows the writer to include excess information that wouldn’t normally be in one of the succinct news stories. This can include various outside sources, references, quotes, and opinionated pieces. Likewise, the format of the story doesn’t have to be the same ‘inverted pyramid’ style that a regular news story is in.
A news story on the other hand, is very brief and factual. With the ‘inverted pyramid’ style, the writer puts the key information in the beginning of the article, in order to ensure the attention of the audience. A news story must only contain factual information that briefly, but clearly explains the story. Also, regular news stories contain the most important information in the lede of the story.
