After reading the article about Writing Features, my mind was revealed the differences between features and hard news stories. For example, features are not straight to the point; they build the scene before explaining the actual story. It is written more as a story from a book rather than a straight-get-to-the-facts kind of story. Also. features have a very distinct ending that either points towards the future or circles right back to the story. This article was very informative and insightful!
