Techniques Of Feature Writing And Mass Communication

Description

Most newspapers today assume readers to have at least an eighth grade education while always considering the diversity of its readership. Feature writing is a form of journalism that requires much more than getting facts down quickly. Unlike news writing, feature writing explores, in greater depth, topics such as current events, individual people, specific places, or various issues. Feature articles typically run longer, focus on one topic in detail, offer more background on the topic, and present specific subjects in greater depth. This book is a comprehensive guide to feature writing and mass communication, covering everything from generating ideas, writing and editing techniques, to the fundamentals of mass communication. Students and educators in the field of journalism and communication will find this book to be a valuable resource.
