How has learning about newsworthiness and types of news articles (straight news articles and feature articles in different sections of the newspaper)

I am always reading the feature article part. Feature articles seem more interesting as they have something like a short story in the front part which gets my attention and gets me hooked onto the story. There is always a reason for the extra mini story in the first paragraph of the article. This also means the article is very newsworthy and the firm wants more readers to read it. However, straight news articles can also be quite boring sometimes when they talk and emphasise so much on the boring stuff like finance and other stocks stuff. And that is why I enjoy feature articles better. I remember a article that was very interesting was the one from Times, the one about Tiger Mum. This article shows me how children learn in China and how come they are so hardworking and et cetra. I really enjoy feature articles nowadays.
