Entertaiment has become a word that is associated with many different things. The experience can be private for an individual who selects his or her entertainment from a now enormous array of pre-recorded products, to a banquet adapted for two; it can be large scale for thousands or even a global audience. It can have a serious purpose such as in the case of a religious festival or ceremony, or it can be an example of satire. It may be a mixture of the serious and the amusing, as in a circus show or musical production.
When writing an article about entertaiment, it is important to keep in mind the goal of the article – to inform and entertain. For example, if an entertainer is being interviewed, it is helpful to provide information about their background and history that will interest the audience. This can be done by examining official biographies of the subject. Also, it is good to discuss any controversy that surrounds the entertainer because this will excite and motivate readers. For example, a controversial scandal that occurred at the Oscars is one way to inspire readers to continue reading an entertainment article.
