A Web Feature ABOUT a Feature


This is so very cool: a few years ago, WIRED magazine published a web feature about the writing of a feature story. In other words, they broke down the process of a magazine feature, from idea to pitch to draft to interviews to fact-check to final proof. (It's the equivalent of the DVD extra "Behind the scenes") You, students of web writing working on your semester project/web feature, get a two for one: you can read a great feature story--a profile of film director Charlie Kaufman--AND get an inside look at how this process goes at a professional magazine. Take some time and have a look.
