Beyond the Facts: A Guide to the Art of Feature Writing.
Alexander, Louis
This book, designed primarily as a college text, but also useful for self-study, as a library reference, and as a reference for cub reporters, newscasters, and associate editors, offers guidance on format and structure for the feature writer. Topics discussed include news features, brites, color stories, side bars, and think pieces, as well as interviewing, researching and illustrating features, the psychology of readers, and writing and new journalism. Teaching techniques, tested in classrooms and adult workshops, are arranged in an order suitable for classroom use. Details of gathering story materials, identifying good ideas, and selling stories are included for magazine, newspaper, and broadcast styles. (Author/KS)
