It is one thing to know how to write a feature article, but another to know how to write a history or heritage-based feature article.

There are lots of different types of history and heritage articles in newspapers and magazines, including articles about newly accessible archive sources, significant anniversaries, grand houses, particular historical figures, memorials, exhibitions and so on.

As with other feature articles, a historical feature piece generally needs to have a link to something new – an upcoming event, something that has newly opened, something newly discovered or newly accessible. This book describes what might make something newsworthy.

The book looks too at the types of information a journalist might include in a particular type of history or heritage article. For example, an article on an exhibition might include the people or group that put together the exhibition, the reason for the exhibition, the contents of the exhibition, examples of interesting items in the exhibition, and so on.

Examples are given too of the types of images that could be used in a history or heritage article.

This book focuses on the types of history and heritage articles written in newspapers and magazine supplements, not in academic journals. Examples are given of different types of history and heritage articles that have appeared in Irish newspapers.
