A feature article is a long article that is detailed and in-depth. It usually goes beyond the basic news reporting and explores a topic, issue, person, or event.
The feature articles are usually written in a more narrative and engaging way.
Such an article could also be the main article for the day/week or another specified period of time. If that’s the case, the feature article appears on the front page of the newspaper, magazine, or a web blog, and is often called a cover story.
The feature article focuses on the human interest, background, or broader context of a subject, often using storytelling techniques to inform and engage readers in an effort to provide depth, insight, or emotion.
