The Amanda Burton story was very well-written.  I think it was a great piece to look at for some direction as far as feature writing goes.  Julie Satow does a good job of showing both sides of the story.  She makes it a point to show both sides of Amanda’s personality, and both her supporters and her critics.  Satow sets this up on the top of the second page, in the beginning of the story, and this sets a tone for what the rest of the article will focus on.

It seems like despite her socialite background, she does a pretty good job of relating to citizens who are on the opposite end of the spectrum.  I think the quotes from Mark Thompson give a good example of this.
