Feature Writing   What is a feature? It differs from straight news in one respect — its intent. A news story provides information about an event, idea or situation. The feature does a bit more. It also may interpret or add depth and color to the news; instruct; or entertain.
Feature Writing   Characteristics of a Feature Stories The Lead A feature lead doesn't have to have the who, what, where, when and why in the very first paragraph, the way a hard-news lead does. Instead, a feature lead can use description or an anecdote to set up the story. A feature lead can run for several paragraphs instead of just one.
Feature Writing Phase   Feature stories often employ a more leisurely phase than news stories. Features take time to tell a story, instead of rushing through it the way news stories often seem to do.
Feature Writing Length   Taking more time to tell a story means using more space, which is why features are usually, though not always, longer than hard news articles.
Feature Writing Focus If news stories tend to focus on events, features tend to focus more on people. Features are designed to bring the human element into the picture, which is why many editors call features "people stories."
Feature Writing Kinds of Feature     The Profile A profile is an article about an individual. Profiles can be done on just about anyone who's interesting and newsworthy.
Feature Writing Human interest stories A human interest story is written to show a subject’s oddity or its practical, emotional, or entertainment value.
Feature Writing Backgrounders A backgrounder--also called an analysis piece--adds meaning to current issues in the news by explaining them further. These articles bring an audience up-to-date, explaining how this country, this organization, this person happens to be where it is now.
Feature Writing The News Feature The news feature is just what it sounds like - a feature article that focuses on a topic of interest in the news. News features often cover the same subjects as deadline hard-news stories, but do so in greater depth and detail.
Feature Writing The Spot Feature   Spot features are feature stories produced on deadline that focus on a breaking news event. Often news features are used as sidebars to the mainbar.
Feature Writing Trend Stories  Trend stories take the pulse of the culture at the moment, looking at what's new, fresh and exciting in the world of art, fashion, film, music, high-technology and so on.
Feature Writing The Live-In The live-in is an in-depth, often magazine-length article that paints a picture of a particular place and the people who work or live there.

Feature Writing The lead The  introduction  is the most important part -entice your reader, hook them in. Use drama, emotion, quotations, questions, descriptions.
Feature Writing ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Feature Writing The body  The body of the article needs to keep any promises or answer any questions raised in the introduction - try and maintain an "atmosphere" throughout the writing·
Feature Writing The Nutgraph  The nutgraph is where the feature writer lays out for the reader exactly what the story is all about. It usually follows the first few paragraphs of the scene-setting or story-telling the writer has done. A nutgraph can be a single paragraph or more.

Feature Writing The conclusion  The conclusion should be written to help the reader remember the story. Use a strong punchline
