Immediate: what exactly is the difference between news, article and feature?

Question

give the journalistic reply please

Answer 1

its simple.

the news is objective and pretty much tells you what is going on in the world or on a specific beat. news stories are straight forward and to the point, telling the reader what happened. for example an office building catches on fire, that is news. a speaker coming to visit some rando place. that is news too. the city approving a plan to put in some new stop lights? news as well.

a feature is usually written in a more narrative sense, but still follows AP style. features are more creative and usually less serious than news, unless they are on a sensitive topic. an example of a feature would be some sort of story about a band and what they had to go through to make it famous, or some old guy who takes in cats for a living.

you dig?

Answer 2

Article is a brief composition on a subject. Covering specialized research point in the subject area, usually appearing in a magazine,newspaper, encyclopedia

or journal.

News is any new information on current events which is relayed by print, broadcast, Internet or word of mouth to a third party or mass audience.

Feature an article that may not have news value but is of interest to readers.

I hope this helps you understand a little bit of the difference between  this three.
