ALMOST DONE!
I think my first feature is nearly there. I've connected all my thoughts and it flows nicely. It gets my point across rather clearly which I am very pleased about. I'm glad it has taken the direction that it has. The only thing I need now it some sort of quotation or two, which I'm still undecided about. Truthfully, I'd like to leave other people out of it all together and turn it into more of an opinion piece, because it essentially is but without saying "I". That would be simpler and smoother. Since I am writing about a social issue there is not much fact. There is only what I've observed and what I believe to be true. It's sort of a sneaky opinion piece because you can't really tell right away. I think. But my other approach is to turn to academic essays and pull quotations from professionals while simultaneously making it seem relevant. That would be much more relevant than having student interviews. I'm not too worried about connecting with the TA audience because the topic of hipsters is not an obscure one (which is ironic) because most everyone (especially the students) know what hipsters are already. So I don't need to interview students in order to draw them in. Though, it would draw them in more I feel like the rest of the article would suffer from it.
Seems we are having an opening to the magazine which is opinion based, so I think your plan will work.
