Features

A good feature covers a particular issue more in-depth than a straight forward news coverage story.

A properly well written feature typically focus on human interests and the elements of a certain event. Features will focus on engaging the readers emotions to elicit a response and motivate them to read further.

A feature story gives the writers more freedom and allows them to be more creative with their writing because they do not have the strict guidelines to abide by.

Features will captivate the reader by evoking them to think, and imagine by presenting them with a picture to help them better visualize the story.

A good feature takes more than facts, it will involve testimony and opinions of others strongly tied to the chosen subject. By writing a feature on a topic of interest it helps the journalist to make sure it is the best and most interesting it can be to other people.
