they will realise that the main article is genuine and will be accurate as it came directly from the feature artist. It also suggests
that the editor is on friendly terms with the artist which will impress the TA. This also gives the magazine credibility as it shows
that they really did interview the artist, and didn’t just take the article off the internet. It informs the reader that the article will

and not too serious.
