Feature article - think newspaper. Objective language is what you want. Nothing too emotional!

You write good feature articles by reading good feature articles and taking note of the conventions. Pick up today's Good Weekend and get reading.

you can be biased in them - in a feature article the writer is trying to push there point of veiw - say you were writing a peice on an actor and you liked him - you would present him in a good light - however if you did not like him then you would be rather negative in your portrayal.

feature articles are different to newspaper articles - while a newspaper article is informative and is meant to give facts not opinion a feature article uses opionion in it. If you did pick up the weekend papers liftout section which has all those articles you will notice that the tone is alot different - rather more laid back.

I'd prefer to think of a feature article as the authors commentry - in your byline you have to mention that it is such and such reporting - which immediatly triggers that it is a more subjective peice of writing

but dont get too over-the-top. creative, articulate writing is one thing - plain over-the-top emotionally overbearing writing is another
