feature articles
In-depth journalism pieces
Feature articles are in-depth journalistic pieces that go beyond straight news reporting to explore subjects with more context, analysis, and narrative style.
Unlike breaking news, features aren't time-sensitive—they might profile a person, examine a trend, or investigate a social issue at length.
The magazine is known for its feature articles on environmental justice.
In journalism, they're often called simply "features."
