what is feature writers?

Question

please answer this question.

Answer 1

I was often called a feature writer years ago when I was a staff reporter on a newspaper. To my editor at that time it meant that I would cover 'features' such as a meeting of sports medicine doctors, a school play, do interviews of different people training for the Olympics (it was a sports town), interview the guys who drove the snow removal equipment over the pass... that kind of thing. I'd write my opinions, their opinions, and all that might interest a reader as far as I could judge!
The feature was a either a non-critical occurrence that only happened once or was something that would only be written about once; I'd say that is in large part what made it a feature.

Answer 2

Wikipedia defines a "feature story" as:

an article in a newspaper, a magazine, or a news website that is not meant to report breaking news, but to take an in-depth look at a subject.

A "feature writer" is someone who writes such stories.

Answer 3

For example, in your local newspaper, there are people who write stories about local people, about local heroes or someone who won a contest. That kind of article is called a 'feature' -- it's not critical news, but people like reading it. The same goes for magazines.
