When you're getting started, you want to ask yourself the following questions:

  • Do you want to entertain or inform? (Sometimes it can be a bit of both.)
  • Who is the audience?

The answer to these two questions will give you with an idea as to what content should be included in your feature story.

Sometimes it helps to make notes to get your thoughts together. It sounds kind of dull, but a small chart can be a useful tool.

Topic

Cyber Stalking

Audience

Web users, particularly pre-teen and teen users

Message/Content

The web is great.
Caution is necessary.
There are creeps online who may try to stalk people offline.
There are guidelines for protecting yourself when online.
Closing paragraph.

A quick review of the chart determines that this will be a Feature Story that will likely inform rather than entertain.
