Question 1:
Basically, the key features of profiling involve something interesting that needs to be brought to light about a person’s character, something that makes that person different, but at the sometime, being able to reveal just how different this person is by describing their background. One way to discover this background is by acquiring firsthand accounts of what this person has been through to make them incredible, and something in the present that feeds off the past. So in other words, profiling involves unraveling a person’s unique drive through their personal history and unique characteristics.
Question 2:
The paper clip essay does a great job with profiling because the writer uses more of a firsthand experience approach, which is one of the key features. Also, the fact that the individual mentioned in the essay is attempting to break such a unique record, utilizes the key feature of viewing this person’s life from a good angle. In other words, this essay was enticing because it was able to establish the essay in the present during the paper clipping. This invites the reader to feel just as anxious about the outcome as those who lived it. By making the essay an interaction between reader and the subject, it makes the reader feel like they are really apart of this person’s life, which helps the reader connect.
On the other hand, the other essay is more of a first person account. The angle may have been interesting, but much of interesting factors that writer revealed were based on celebrity interaction, which did not really reveal much about the subject’s character. The writer kind of assumed that just because celebrities were willing to be kind to the tattoo artist, that his unique personality was a given. In other words, there needs to be more of the unraveling of a unique personality through history in order to understand the subject’s present state.

Key Features List:
· Incredible subject: The subject would be about a surprising things. If the subject is normal, try to integrate a special person, location or incident. Thereby, your subject would look much more appealing.
· Basic information: Profiles should consist fair amount of details in order to make the profiles’ story or texts clear and more comprehendible for the audience.
· Focusing on a specific aspect: A well written profile is the one that focus on a specific point. You should look for the information that just relate to your subject.
· Effort on searching: you have to put effort on noting, detecting and getting connected to your subject. For instance, the subculture interview is a way of getting connected to your subject.
· Alluring descriptions: illustrating your details, and making them sensible. So the audience can get hooked within it.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

Welcome to the new Mizzima Weekly !
Mizzima Media Group is pleased to announce the relaunch of Mizzima Weekly. Mizzima is dedicated to helping our readers and viewers keep up to date on the latest developments in Myanmar and related to Myanmar by offering analysis and insight into the subjects that matter. Our websites and our social media channels provide readers and viewers with up-to-the-minute and up-to-date news, which we don’t necessarily need to replicate in our Mizzima Weekly magazine. But where we see a gap is in providing more analysis, insight and in-depth coverage of Myanmar, that is of particular interest to a range of readers.
2. OUTLINE

What is a Feature Article?
Feature Articles Aspects
Types of Feature Articles:
A personality profile.
A human-interest story.
An in-depth look at an issue.
Start Writing a Feature Articles
Types of Intros:
Anecdotal Intro
A Contrast Lead
A Quote Intro
The Question Lead
3. WHAT IS A FEATURE
ARTICLE?
3
A feature article is a soft news story that can
be delivered in a number of ways. It can come
in the form of:
A
personality profile.
A human-interest story.
An in-depth look at an issue.
A feature article is more free flowing and less
restrictive than a straight news article.
4. WHAT IS A FEATURE
ARTICLE?
4
Feature articles are not meant to deliver the
news, but they contain elements of news.
Their main purpose is to add the human
element to the news, to add color and feeling.
They often recap major news that already has
been re-ported.
5. 1- A PERSONALITY PROFILE
5
A feature article can be a personality profile of
a young student participating in the elections
in a particular district in Morocco for the first
time.
The
soft news is the profile of the student, which
brings readers more information about youths
who participate in the elections.
The breaking news would be the day of the
election itself.
6. 2- A HUMAN-INTEREST
STORY
6
Human-interest stories are similar to personal
profiles, however they usually do not have a
strong news objective or value. They are
reported because they are touching, unusual
or have emotional or entertainment value.
A human-interest story can be about a group
of guys in their 60s practicing sport every
Sunday in a public park. Interviews with these
people can be very interesting since we don’t
know their story and what they might say.
7. 7
3- AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AT AN
ISSUE
When writing a feature article that is an indepth look at an issue you can take little extra
time to do research on the topic you want to
write about and conduct interviews to go
beyond the basic news story.
For example, you can spend some time with
street children interviewing them and
discussing their living conditions to see how
they live and how they cope with their
difficulties every day.
8. START WRITING A FEATURE
ARTICLES
8
Feature articles are usually not written in the
traditional inverted pyramid form with a hard
news lead. As mentioned previously, people
usually have a little more time on their hands
when they read feature stories. That gives the
writer the opportunity to bring the readers into
the story, to get them involved.
9. TYPES OF INTROS
9
A good intro usually creates a mood for the
reader to continue reading a feature article and
therefore you should choose an appropriate
intro to start your feature article with. Here are
a few examples:
Anecdotal
Intro
A Contrast Lead
A Quote Intro
The Question Lead
10. ANECDOTAL INTRO
10
Anecdotal - or narrative - intro draws the
reader into the story by setting the scene for
them. It can take several paragraphs to set the
scene before getting to the real reason for the
story. When choosing this type of intro, you
need to get your readers attached to a person
or situation so they will continue reading.
As a rule, the reason for the story is usually in
the third or fourth paragraph. In journalism
lingo, this is referred to as the nut graph.
► See the example.
11. A CONTRAST LEAD
11
A contrast lead makes comparisons such as
old and new, or modern and classic. These
types of intros are great for historical-type
stories.
► See the example.
12. A QUOTE INTRO
12
A good quote can be used as an intro to a
feature story, but it must be a powerful quote
to be effective and set the tone for what is to
follow in the story.
A quote must always be written between
quotation marks “…” and you must always
state the name of the person to which you
attribute the quote.
► See the example.
13. THE QUESTION LEAD
13
A question lead is when you ask a question at the
beginning of the story in the first paragraph and
the answer is found in the second or later
paragraph.
Readers usually don’t like such intro because they
are expecting answers not questions and thus
when you start a story with a question it must be
an interesting and provocative question to grab
the attention of the reader.
► See the example.
14. DO NOT FORGET
14
1.
2.
3.
4.
After the intro, in the third or the fourth paragraph
in the feature story, you should include
information as to why you are writing the story.
Include the news in your feature article which
would most likely be information from a
previously written hard news story.
Provide plenty of background information in the
feature article because you are expanding on a
news angle.
Sprinkle your story with quotes, especially early
in the article, to establish a good reader/source
relationship.
