In order for Journalist to have a complete story a profile of the person or topic is a must, not only to provide necessary facts but also because profiling is the start and guides a journalist’s research.
A profile helps strengthen a story, but is can also be used prior to even writing a story.
If you do an accurate profile on a person involved in an event prior to the interview, you can ask much more personal questions. Questions you know will get a great response to.
A profile is also necessary to be written into a story, this way the reader can accurately understand what type of person the story revolves around.
It is important to put the reader in the shoes of the person or event your writing about.
Today research for profiling is easier than in the past, using the internet sites like Facebook give a quick skeleton of a person.
There is even a good chance that person has their own blog they write. With sights with twitter you may even be able to find out where that person is at that exact moment.
