Pop Sensation Justin Bieber Finally Settling Down?

Beliebers all around the globe had been hearing whispers and rumors of pop singer Justin Bieber (24) and model Hailey Baldwin (22) getting married in a quiet wedding but no one was sure. On Thanksgiving, Bieber finally confirmed the rumors with a post on his instagram,  “Happy late thanksgiving to everyone. First thanksgiving as a married man, first time hosting thanksgiving. First time both sides of the family has come together." Fans, naturally, were ecstatic but nothing was more exciting then when several days later, Baldwin changed her instagram to @haileybieber and Bieber posted a picture of the two captioned “My wife is awesome.” It was later released that Bieber had proposed in July and the two had gotten their marriage license in New York in September. It is clear the two are quite happy with the marriage and intend on making it a long one as Bieber talks about being in a “healthy stable marriage” that his little brother and sister get to see. Here’s to a good marriage between the two!

I wrote my news story based of what I personally want to read about which is what the public wants to read. I have been wondering about the relationship status of these two celebrities for a while now and when I saw on Justin Bieber's instagram, that they are in fact married, I was ecstatic, it was the perfect thing to write about. The key in writing anything is to write about what you are passionate about and what you would like to read, because there is someone who wants to read the same thing. When actually writing it, also put the most important details and elements at the top because that's the eye catcher.

I enjoy being able to write about whatever I want to. It's really fun to dig though the internet to find evidence and information, especially when it is something/ someone you WANT to write about. One thing I think I need to work on, but I did a pretty good job of on this one, is to not add "fluff" or pointless information on a news story. I need to just report facts and other information with importance to the story. I feel like I have a fairly credible and believable voice established which is critical in writing anything. I also have good word choice that corresponds well to the story.

Writing this news story I was able to explore my voice and the way I present my information. I believe that it worked and suited me well so I am very happy with it.
