Summary
A "profile feature" is a newspaper article
that explores the background and character of a particular person (or group).
The focus should be on a news angle or a single aspect of the subject's
personal or professional life. The article should begin with the reason the
subject is newsworthy at this time, and should be based (not exclusively) on an
extensive interview with the subject. To write a profile feature article, Know
the rules of attribution. You must identify yourself as a reporter before
beginning any conversation with a source, Ask open questions, be a good
listener, and probe for anecdotes. Get a source talking by asking questions
that begin with "how" or "why.", Prepare for your
interviews. Come to any interview armed with a basic list of questions you hope
to ask, interview with breadth and depth. Interview as wide a range of people
as possible, and probe them for thoughtful answers, Write for a national
audience. Obviously, your story will be grounded by your familiarity with your
own school, Keep an open mind. Don't assume that you understand all the nuances
of your topic. Expect that your understanding will evolve as you report.
Profile feature ledes are often more creative than news leads. They don't
always need to contain the standard "five w's (and h)": who, what,
when, where, why and how. (These elements should, however, be aggregated
somewhere in your article in what has come to be known as a "nut
graf," the paragraph that clearly explains to readers who your profile is
about and why this person is interesting.) A profile feature lede can take one
of many forms. When reporting a profile feature article, observe your
surroundings carefully. Pay attention to your subject's habits and mannerisms.
Subtle clues like posture, tone of voice and word choice can all, when
presented to readers, contribute to a fuller and more accurate presentation of
the interview subject. When interviewing, encourage your subject to open up and
express significant thoughts, feelings or opinions. Do so by asking open-ended
questions that are well-planned. Make sure to research the subject of your
profile before beginning your interview. This will help you to maintain focus
during the conversation and to ask questions that will elicit compelling
responses.
Reflection
For the most important of journalism is how to write a
Profile Feature Article help transfer knowledge effectively between educators
and student. Now, I realise that journalism effective teaching how to write proile
feature article recognize students strength and make me as a student more
confidence to use and learn English feature materials news in class or public.
Student also me can make a news correctly and organized. So, to know what i
want to do when i increase my knowledge about english and in the future to
write a profile feature article, know the rules of attribution. You must
identify yourself as a reporter before beginning any conversation with a
source, Ask open questions, be a good listener, and probe for anecdotes. Get a
source talking by asking questions that begin with "how" or
"why.", Prepare for your interviews when I became to be a teacher or
journalist i know how to give the student effective of learning news gathering
and interviewing. for me the activites learning that make me know all about
english is to know what i will learn like i summarize, memorize the course and
distribution of english and check the grammar to know if my english is already
good. hopefully this material can add knowledge and insight related to learning
innovation for me to get better sense of the purpose of the material.
