news feature
Human interest story
A news feature is a longer-form journalistic piece that goes beyond straightforward reporting of events.
Unlike breaking news, which answers who, what, when, and where, a feature explores the why and how—providing context, human interest, or in-depth analysis.
Features might profile a person affected by a policy, examine trends behind headlines, or revisit a story months later: The paper ran a news feature on families displaced by the flooding.
