Focussed, in-depth and illustrated feature stories have proved to be an effective tool for getting messages across through the printed media. The in-depth stories are also effective for transmission through the broadcasting media after adapting them as mini-reports for radio and mini-documentaries for video magazine programmes. Features also serve as an effective medium for following up issues by presenting them with new angles and approaches. News Nepal commissions, edits and helps with the placement of such features in the different media.
