This class we took time to learn about feature stories, their components, and importance. Feature writings tells the reader a story. They include a lead, middle, and end. It also allows readers to see the story through the use of detailed description, vivid writing. Including feature stories in magazines gives readers a break from the normal content and provides them something more engaging. Most contents found in magazines only provides a brief description of the topic. On the contrary, f eatures are more in-depth than traditional news stories and go beyond providing the most important facts. The purpose of these stories is to provide a detailed description of a place, person, idea, or organization. Over the next few days, I will continue my research on the role of feature stories and practice creating my own.
