DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT THE SUBJECT: PROFILING THROUGH INTERVIEWS AND PHOTOS

The combination of a text and photos offers a richer, clearer picture of the Fountain Pen Hospital than the text alone would provide. This rich Web profile is created through the reporter’s research and interviews and through details from the photos.

Analyze & Write

  2. Write a paragraph or two analyzing how textual and visual details bring the Fountain Pen Hospital to life:
  • Skim “Niche Market: Fountain Pen Hospital,” looking for examples of the following:
    • background information
    • summaries of important events
    • descriptions and observations
    • quotations of interview subjects

Taken together, what dominant impression of the Fountain Pen Hospital do these elements create?

  • Now consider how the photos in the slideshow build on this impression. For example, what do the photos tell you about the store and its clients?
  • How well do the text and photos work together to fulfill the writer-photographer’s purpose—presumably, to give us an in-depth look at a specialty store that has turned itself around? Do you have any remaining questions about the Fountain Pen Hospital? What other textual or visual information might have helped to address your questions?
