What makes a good profile?

Preparation is the key to creating a good profile. In preparation, a reporter must thoroughly research the person they are profiling and dig deep into facts. This research should include interviewing, and getting to the know the person. Getting to know the person does not just mean getting the facts either, it also is knowing how he/she is real life, and how he/she acts. Once you see that, you combine in with the information you have been researching, through former articles, stories, and information, and generate an accurate profile of the person. Overall, preparation is what makes a good profile.
