feature article

In-depth news piece

A feature article is a piece of journalism that goes beyond straight news reporting to explore a subject in depth—often with narrative storytelling, human interest angles, or analysis.

Features typically run longer than news articles and appear in magazines or newspaper sections dedicated to lifestyle, culture, or in-depth coverage: She pitched a feature article on urban beekeeping.
