58. What I learned from Journalism School

I was once a full-time student of Journalism (Concordia University). I was one of the best, too. :-)

What I learned in Feature Writing is that you've got to write stories from one of the following angles:

• Progress (in society, in science, etc.)
• Consequences
• Major problem
• Solution to that problem
• Technology
• Celebrities
• Heartstrings
• Human interest
• Trends
• Conflict

In other words, if your blog focuses on one of the above feature story angles, you can be sure that readers will pay attention.
