Taking up the two assigned profile articles (“Bernie Goetz: Squirrel Vigilante” and “Sean Casey: Pet Rescuer”) as a point of departure, reflect on what you see as central to “the art of the profile,” as a distinctive genre of journalistic feature writing. Describe at least two key features (related to research, structure, style, content, etc.) that you believe make these profiles successful, using specific examples from the text to demonstrate your ideas. What might you take away from these two pieces of writing as you begin to propose, research, and write your profile article?
