Synopsis

According to Dianne Smith, MJE (2010), author of “Introduction to Journalism”, state that Personality profiles: These are stories that give us a more complete picture of a person. The person may be in the public eye, which always causes readers to be interested, or the person may be just someone who is very talented, outspoken or accomplished. The profile should focus on one aspect of the person’s life, rather than trying to answer a mishmash of questions that do not go together. The story should show what makes this person unique and should include anecdotes from the person’s life. A news feature is a type of feature story written in the style of a news article. It tackles a topic with painstaking detail and requires facts and research to back the story.
