Learning about newsworthiness and types of news articles has partially affected the way I read newspapers. I am now able to understand what kind of articles I am reading when I read the newspapers.
Basically, a straight news article is usually about some event that happened which has impacts on many people, and are generally informative. These articles mainly list out only facts in their content only and are not supposed to show us the reporter's point of view. These articles also use more formal language in their content.
As for feature articles, they can be about anything, and they are mainly human-interest articles. Feature articles can be informative, entertaining or just provide some background information about something to the reader. It can include analysis on certain issues, interviews of certain people, and also be about somebody's own personal experience. Feature articles don't just show us facts, but also provide us with the point of view of the writer.
