Y-02. Feature Writing – Academics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A single story about an academic department, a subject, a class or an issue that emphasizes academics. Academics coverage commonly depicts students in a learning situation either in or out of class. Feature coverage emphasizes human-interest angles (who, why and how) over traditional hard news elements (what, when). Entry should not be a personality profile, which has its own category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
