Articles and Features in magazines in newspapers are generally not written in the first person, although some, particularly travel features, may be.
Personal opinion is not encouraged, except in the ‘back page’ type of article ( or unless it’s coming from regular columnists.)
Features and articles must be well written and flow well. You can’t depend on sub heads and photos to break them up as you can with blog posts, because both photos and sub heads will be inserted by the magazine’s sub editors.
You can use numbered lists or bullet points.
Still not sure that you need a Facebook Page?
