Techniques Of Feature Writing And Mass Communication

Description

Most newspapers today assume readers to have at least an eighth grade education while always considering that readers do not know the background of the day’s news. Journalists, like technical communicators, must adapt their writing to various audiences. Feature writing involves maximising the literary skills of the writer. It is a creative effort based on facts and figures. Freelance magazine writers must stay nimble, changing their style, tone, and vocabulary for whatever audience they are presenting for. This book briefly explains the nature of feature stories, picks one definition out of several and examines it as well as looks at the various types of feature stories and writing techniques.
