What makes a news story different form a feature story?

A news story gives hard facts and is in some cases a retelling of an incident or informative on an event or situation that is in the midst of taking its course. A feature story on the other hand can be a variety of topics. Some examples are a profile on a specific person, analysis of an opinion or current issue; for instance, writing about women’s portrayal in the media and your personal opinions on the topic, you would need to be sure to include quotations from a unbiased professional. Other types of features include, background information on local, national, or international events, human-interest stories, humorous reflections, personal experience, etc. It’s clear that as opposed to a news story, a feature article can go more in depth and appear more opinionated on a variety of topics.
