Journalistic terms....
What's the difference between a feature story and a filler story? They both contain "anecdotal evidence" and some truths.

Is 'an editor' the only difference?

1. A feature is usually an assigned piece on a non-hard news topic,
and could be quite in-depth such as a travel story, personality profile, music review, etc. A filler is a shorter piece, sometimes a rewritten press release on an event or new business, ie what you keep on hand as an editor to fill in holes when needed.
