Now, Our Feature Presentation ...

Tonight's class will introduce the section of the course on feature writing. Below are links to a small selection of feature stories. We will discuss some of these in class as time permits.

A light piece about an unhappy bank customer, from the St. Petersburg Times

A Travel Story about High-Rollers, from The Associated Press

A Business Feature, from National Public Radio (it's an audio feature, so you'll need speakers or headphones)

Your Assignment for Tuesday, Oct. 17, is to do some Web surfing in search of some great feature stories. Select one that you think is strong (how ever you define that: elegantly written, insightful, provacative, humorous, etc.). Bring a hard copy of the piece (or at least the URL so we can call it up) to class and be prepared to discuss its merits.
