| | Feature Writing, Marshall Soules, 2004 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | In a version of featurizing, pressure from advertisers or lobbyists often result in writing that appears at first blush to be news when it is, in fact, promotion for a product, idea, or policy. |
 | | Because a feature generally runs longer than a news story, it is effective to weave a thread throughout the story, which connects the lead to the body and to the conclusion. |
 | | Transition is particularly important in a long feature examining several people or events because it is the tool writers use to move subtly from one person or topic to the next. |
