The Miami Herald wrote a decent profile on Modeline Antoine. She is a student with huge aspirations to become part of the law enforcement. Her story is slightly inspiring because she came over from Haiti and lived with her aunt until her mother was able to come to America too.
This profile does a great job of providing insight into Antoine's character. It discusses her aspirations and paints out her personal struggles, instead of simply stating them. Sometimes it can be difficult to find interesting things about someone's personality, but this profile does with ease. This article does the two things a profile should do. A profile needs to focus on the person and work. It provides context about Antoine's life and her career aspirations.
In regards to profile writing this article would receive an A. However, one element of profile writing was missed in regards to this particular profile. "Why does it matter?" is a question that is always asked when writing a story. As a journalist it is their sole duty to provide the reader with enough context to show why this story or person is important.
This profile shows a motivated women with a difficult past. As a reader I was left wondering why is she so important? My question was not answered at all through the whole article. I still do not understand why she was picked for a profile.
The photo they used of her is not a good representation of her character. It does not represent the article in a positive manner. She looks like she is going to attend a party at a nightclub instead of a strong professional law enforcement business woman.
There were no unique or interesting facts about her in the profile anywhere. All I learned from this profile is that she worked hard as a student and now has her dream job. She also loves her boyfriend and her friends. In all honesty, this sounds more like a normal college student than anything else. I am still waiting to know why this woman is so special.
