Synopsis of Feature Writing

Today, newspapers vie with one another about giving a feature angle even to important news so as to make it interesting to the reade So in a way, news and features try to merge into each other. While news is anything that is new happening in the world that interests people and impacts their lives either directly or indirectly, features deal with subjects which have wide ranging human interest value and arrest the attention of the reade In this compact and concise book, Meera Raghavendra Rao, whose long and rich experience is a harmonious blend of teaching and writing, offers an overview of Feature Writing in its many-splendored aspects. Features are necessarily laden with humour, drama, suspense and irony and these come live in the book. The author covers different types of features found in newspapersBrights, Humour and Satire, Human Interest Features, Travel Features and News Featuresand gives illustration for each of these. Besides, the text gives a clear analysis of feature writing techniques. The concluding chapters provide a detailed description of Profiles and Interviews and Online Features. Intended as a text for students of Journalism, this book would also be extremely useful for anyone who has a flair for writing.
