Although a news story might seem as if it is a feature story, it most definitely is not. There are many differences between the two. First of all a news story is written about everyday happenings or everyday occurrences.
Second when one is writing a news story it is usually a short and concise story that will either be updated at a later point and finally will disappear into the archives. When a feature story is written it is usually about a specific large scale event that effects a large amount of people and that will be eye catching.
Also when writing a news story, usually it is written straight and to the point while a feature story might have some type of a twist to it with much more insight. Usually a feature story encompasses much more in depth reporting as oppose to a quick wire report that has been compiled from different AP stories.
Finally, a feature story usually interviews multiple people and people who are experts in the field. Then all of those interviews, quotes, and in depth coverage are all compiled together into a long in depth and detailed article.
