About the Book

This book provides a practical and richly informative introduction to feature writing and the broader context in which features journalists operate. As well as covering the key elements and distinctive features that constitute good feature writing, the book also offers a rich resource of real life examples, case studies and exercises.

  • Why journalists become feature writers
  • The difference between news stories and features
  • What features need to contain
  • How to write features
  • The different types of features
