My hobby is listening to music cause I think my voice is very sweet. I listen to a lot of songs from western and kpop. One of them I enjoy listened to EXO's song. I'm not fixated on genres, I listen to all genres of music. My daily life is a student of the faculty of education. Right now I'm also helping to teach a few children in my place.

SUMMARY

        According to Student Voices (1999), author of “How to Write a Profile Feature Article.” states that Student journalists should be aware of the rules of attribution, ask open questions, prepare for interviews, and interview with breadth and depth to accurately represent their experiences and views. Write for a national audience, interview students from different schools, keep an open mind, outline your story, focus on what’s most compelling, and show, dont tell. Put your story in context, dont overuse direct quotes, fill holes, triple-check for accuracy, and proofread for spelling and grammatical mistakes. Put your story in context to help answer a reader biggest question. Dont overuse direct quotes, attribution, fill holes, triple-check for accuracy, and proofread for spelling and grammar mistakes. A profile feature article is a newspaper article that explores the background and character of a particular person or group. It should focus on a news angle or a single aspect of the subject personal or professional life and should be based on an extensive interview with the subject. The article should open with the subject’s connection to the news event and should deal later with birth, family, education, career, and hobbies. Interview at least five other people, representing a variety of perspectives, about the subject of the article. Contact sources early and often, research background material, and create a profile feature lede to capture the essence of the person you are profiling. Don't use the "inverted pyramid" style of writing; weave background material with details and quotes; save a quote for the last sentence.

 

REFLECTION

        Previously, I questioned whether the news only contains news about something that recently happened or can contain someone's profile article such as biography. Because I do not yet know about this knowledge, I will now need to read more about this topic because it is a useful topic for me in studying journalism. Having learned this knowledge I now know that writing articles about someone's profile has the same way we write news writing about an event. Prepare a news gathering before conducting interviews with people who will be used as resource persons in writing feature profiles. I have developed my knowledge of this material that the profile feature contains about the background of a person or group which focuses on one aspect of the interviewee's personal life. For me, the most important aspect was that featured profile leads are often more creative than typical news leads which not only contain 5w1h but can explain to the reader who the person written in the featured profile is and why this person is interesting. This knowledge is important to me in the workplace because it can train the ability to write news about feature profiles, where the ability to write according to the structure and how to take the right steps in writing someone’s feature profile.
