Basic Information:

Magazines and newspapers are filled with profiles. Unlike conventional news stories, which report current events, profiles tell about people, places, and activities. Some profiles take us behind the scenes of familiar places, giving us a glimpse of their inner workings.
Others introduce us to the exotic-peculiar hobbies, unusual professions, bizarre personalities. Still others probe the social, political, and moral significance of our institutions.
Profiles share many features with autobiography, such as narrative, anecdote, description, and dialogue. Yet profiles differ significantly from autobiographv. Whereas an autobiographer reflects on a remembered personal experience, a profile writer synthesizes and presents newly acquired observations. In writing a profile, you practice the field research methods of observing, interviewing, and notetaking,
commonly used by investigative reporters, social
scientists, and naturalists. You also learn to analyze and synthesize the information you have collected.

A profile is a special kind of research project.
Profiles always involve visits: meeting with a person or goIng to a place. Profile writers take notes from observations and interviews and may pick up reading materials at a place they are profiling. They may even need to conduct library research to gather information about the history and specialized aspects of a place or an activity.
