1) Features are longer form articles that provide context and humanize news stories by adding color, educating readers, and entertaining. They often recap major news from a previous news cycle.
2) Common types of features include personality profiles, human interest stories, trend stories, in-depth analyses, and backgrounders.
3) Feature writers use narrative storytelling techniques like chronology, first-person perspectives, and ending where the lead began to engage readers. Thorough research and a clear focus or theme are important for effective feature writing.

Profile Assignment
Assignment:
Write an essay of 3 pages about a classmate, introducing readers to specific beliefs and values that shape and influence their sbuject. Observe your subject closely, and then present what you have learned in a way that both informs and engages readers.
Due: Monday, November 17, 2014
Basic Information:
Magazines and newspapers are filled with profiles. Unlike conventional news stories, which report current events, profiles tell about people, places, and activities. Some profiles take us behind the scenes of familiar places, giving us a glimpse of their inner workings. Others introduce us to the exotic—peculiar hobbies, unusual professions, bizarre personalities. Still others probe the social, political, and moral significance of our institutions.
Profiles share many features with autobiography, such as narrative, anecdote, description, and dialogue. Yet profiles differ significantly from autobiography. Whereas an autobiographer reflects on a remembered personal experience, a profile writer synthesizes and presents newly acquired observations. In writing a profile, you practice the field research methods of interviewing and notetaking, commonly used by investigative reporters, social scientists, and naturalists. You also learn to analyze and synthesize the information you have collected.
A profile is a special kind of research project. Profiles always involve visits: meeting with a person or going to a place. Profile writers take notes from observations and interviews.
.
Profile Essays:
· Are based on a writer’s newly acquired observations through interviews and notetaking.
· Introduce readers to specific insight to people.
· Provide information while at the same time arousing readers’ curiosity.
· Present scenes and people vividly and concretely through description, action, and dialogue.
· Reveal an attitude toward their subjects and offer—implicitly or explicitly—an interpretation of them.
· Create a dominant impression of the subject.
Purpose and Audience Considerations:
A profile writer’s primary purpose is to inform readers. Readers expect profiles to present information in an engaging way, however. Whether profiling people, places, or activities, the writer must meet these expectations. Although a reader might learn as much about a subject from an encyclopedia entry, reading the profile is sure to be more enjoyable.
Readers of profiles expect to be surprised by unusual subjects. If the subject is familiar, they expect it to be presented from an unusual perspective. When writing a profile, you will have an immediate advantage if your subject is a place, an activity, or a person that is likely to surprise and intrigue your readers. Even if your subject is very familiar, however, you can still engage your readers by presenting it in a way they had never before considered.
A profile writer has one further concern: to be sensitive to readers’ knowledge ...
An introduction to writing news that goes beyond the inverted pyramid structure.
News is first and foremost an intellectual exercise; reviews news styles - narrative sentences; hourglass; the "DNA of documentary" (brief intro - see other presentations for more detail)
For these reasons, professors, by and large, are unconcerned about ChatGPT, at least in its current, publicly available iteration, with some even going so far as to incorporate its use into the course syllabus. Your professors have been around the block. Regardless of whether or not they are good teachers, they are intelligent, hard-working people, and you are not going to slip past their radar by just farming out your essay to ChatGPT and calling it a night.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. What is feature writing? Features are not meant to deliver the news firsthand. They do contain elements of news, but their main function is to humanize, to add color, to educate, to entertain, to illuminate. They often recap major news that was reported in a previous news cycle
4. Types of Features 1. Personality profiles Also called CHARACTER SKETCH. Interviews and observations, as well as creative writing, are used to paint a vivid picture of the person. A good profile includes impressions, explanations and points of view. It should emphasize what is unique about the person. You can use a flashback technique or highlight the individual’s many roles.
5. 2. Human Interest Stories A human interest story is written to show a subject’s oddity or its practical, emotional, or entertainment value.
6. 3. Trend stories A trend story examines people, things or organizations that are having an impact on society. Trend stories are popular because people are excited to read or hear about the latest fads.
7. 4. In-depth stories Through extensive research and interviews, in depth stories provide a detailed account well beyond a basic news story or feature.
8. 5. Backgrounders also called an analysis piece--adds meaning to current issues in the news by explaining them further. These articles bring an audience up-to-date, explaining how this country, this organization, this person happens to be where it is now.
11. a first-person article about one of their own experiences or a combination of these. - stories are held together by a thread, and they often end where the lead started, with a single person or event.
13. Useful tips * Some good feature leads include: Narrative, Descriptive, Striking statement and Punch or astonisher * Be clear about why you are writing the article. Is it to inform, persuade, observe, evaluate, or evoke emotion? * FOCUS! Whenyou prepare for your feature story, you will gather a large amount of information through interviews and background research. Before you begin writing, focus on the main idea. WHY??? Because focusing will narrow your topic
14. * After writing the lead, you need a structure in which to place the information. A structure is an organizational pattern used to synthesize, that is to establish relationships between relevant pieces of information. * Provide vital background information. If appropriate, a paragraph or two of background should be placed high in the story to bring the audience up to date.

20. REMEMBER… The bodyprovides vital information while it educates, entertains, and emotionally ties an audience to the subject. The endingwill wrap up the story & come back to the lead, often with a quotation or a surprising climax. Conclude with a quotation or another part of the thread.A feature can trail off like a news story or it can be concluded with a climax.
