What makes a good feature is that it has the ability to be lighter than a hard news story. It’s important to get a story that will grab many readers' attention and keep them interested.
Quotes are very important to features that make it fun. As a reporter you can interview so many different kinds of people because it’s a topic that is not 100% all fact based, there is a more playful edge to it.
They are meant to be fun. Especially when taking an angle of a hard news story that is not going to be in every paper or news source.
Features include things like concerts, or book reviews, or something related to pop culture.
In today’s word of a lot of bad things going on it can be hard to find “good news” and the beauty of features is that it is meant to lighten the tone of everyday life to make it fun and interesting.
