The process involves an awful lot of tact, fairness, honesty, and integrity. You’re painting a picture of this person to your community. While you want to do them justice, you also want to present an unbiased piece. After all, you’re still writing for a newspaper.<\/p>\n In this way, feature stories ask for something that’s nearly impossible. They ask us to get to know a person, learn to appreciate their qualities, interview them, meet with them, yet still go home at the end of the day and write a story that isn’t over-the-top positive. You aren’t their personal cheerleader.<\/p>\n Below are the six steps that I use to write a feature story. However, I will add that, the more you practice with this particular skill, the better your pieces are going to become.<\/p>\n\n We’ve talked about picking an interesting, timely, and relevant topic for other types of writing. But this is a bit more specific. You need to feature a person, group, or business. In other words, you need to pick a subject.<\/p>\n This can be difficult. After all, you might know several subjects personally, making it impossible to cover them, even if they are interesting and relevant. And, even if you can come up with a quality idea, not all subjects (include directors, founders, owners, and individuals) are going to be willing to meet with you.<\/p>\n Feature stories have to come together in a very specific way. It’s like watching puzzle pieces fall into place.<\/p>\n\n So, How Do You Find That Balance?<\/h2>\n
