PURPOSE INFORM – issue or event more than a news story. PERSUADE – To present an opinion. INSTRUCT – outline of How To ENTERTAIN – amuse reader, mock a person or situation, gossip style.

CONTEXT/PURPOSE CONTEXT Articles arise from a particular event, an issue that is of interest to society. They may explore a person of interest. They may connect to a historical event, but this is still of significance. Feature articles are topical to ensure they grab the interest of the audience.

Feature articles contain.. Eye catching headline Byline – writer’s name or source Interesting opening paragraph Subheading Personal Opinion Comments from others Anecdotes, or little stories

More descriptive writing Emotive and dramatic language Conversational tone Story elements Pictures Use of second person ‘you’, to involve the readers

They do not just present the facts They do not just present the facts. They discuss an issue or an idea that can be developed further through a persuasive argument.

They include photos and pictures that entice the reader to START reading the article in the first place. They include a caption under every photo….this further allows the author to manipulate the reader’s ideas on the issues.

By making the reader part of the issue (writing in second person POV) you (the reader) are instantly involved in the issue. You feel that you have a responsibility to be a part of the ideas presented.

Certain parts of the text are enhanced to influence your reader and “blown up!” They are included in the headings or under the Photos.
