Writng a News Story

Throughout my Comm 160 class we were taught how to write a news story. Here is the final draft of the last news story we had to write. It is a story about the rapper Big Sean coming to Penn State Behrend.


Big Sean at Penn State Behrend

Hip hop artist Big Sean is coming to Penn State Behrend on Thursday, May 1. The Grammy nominated hip-hop recording artist will headline the concert with Taylor Gang’s recording artist Chevy Woods as the opener.  Behrend student Monica Krusewicz plans to go to the concert. She has been a fan of Taylor Gang and Big Sean for quite a few years.

“My high school years were all about Big Sean’s music, but almost more exciting for me is seeing Chevy Woods perform. I’m obsessed with Wiz Khalifa and they’re in Taylor Gang together , so to see Chevy Woods is one step closer to seeing Wiz Khalifa one day. Also the atmosphere of the concert will be amazing!” said Krusewicz.

Indiana University student Brandi King, says she wishes she could attend the Big Sean concert. “I can’t get a ride back to Erie for that weekend, so I’m crushed that I am missing such a great concert. Big Sean is my favorite rapper and it would have been an amazing experience to see him live,” said King.

Sean Michael Leonard Anderson is from Detroit and was first signed by Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. music recording label in 2007 and then in 2008 he signed with Def Jam Recordings. In 2011, Big Sean released his debut album Finally Famous which featured musicians like Kanye West, Chris Brown and Nicki Minaj. His second album Hall Of Fame was released in 2013. Big Sean and Kanye West were nominated twice for a Grammy for West’s song “Mercy”, which featured Big Sean, in 2013, and has won multiple other awards such as Billboard Music Awards Top Rap Song and BET Awards Best New Artist.

Tickets for the concert are still available and are being sold at Behrend’s RUB desk in the Reed Union building, online at estore.psu.edu, or by phone at 898-6171.  Tickets are $20 for Penn State students and $30 for the public. The concert will be held in Behrend’s Junker Center at 7 p.m.
