1.

The purpose of opinion news

It is to inform and explain the news, its meaning, and the effect on society. Opinion news
also fills the background of the news link with social reality and factors that affect more
thoroughly. In opinion news sometimes there is also a prediction or analysis of conditions
that serve to prepare the community for the possibilities that can occur, and continue the
moral assessment of the news.
2. The purpose of feature news
Features are not meant to deliver the news firsthand. They do contain elements of news, but
their main function is to humanize, to add color, to educate, to entertain, to illuminate. They
often recap major news that was reported in a previous news cycle. It is not just telling the
reader what happened. It is explaining why it’s important, who is affected and presenting the
big picture.
