The 55th Annual Light Up Night celebration in Pittsburgh is being held on Friday, November 20. This event is newsworthy and relevant to college students at Slippery Rock because a lot of Slippery Rock students attend this event. It's also newsworthy because it is an event that is held every year in the City of Pittsburgh that is designed to kick off the holiday season. Hundreds of people attend this event, and the crowds seem to grow every year.
At this event, I would plan to take pictures and videos of the various activities occurring, such as musical entertainment, the lighting of the tree, the fireworks display, and anything else that seems to be significant.
For this event, I would like to incorporate a map showing where each event takes place in the city to allow the story telling of Light Up Night to be clear for the viewer. A map will allow the viewer to understand how spread out the events are and what occurred where.
I plan to interview a college student (not necessarily a Slippery Rock Student, though that would be ideal) for a one-on-one interview explaining why they chose to attend Light Up Night and what they think of the event as a whole. If possible, it would be interesting to get an interview with one of the workers of Light Up Night (either a business owner, restaurant employee, or even a police officer, etc.) If I can get one of these types of interviews, I think it will add to the story of Light Up Night by explaining how many people are drawled into the city for this event. For example, a police officer would be able to explain how crazy the city is during this event and a business owner would be able to tell me how much more business they receive because of Light Up Night.
This event is huge for the City of Pittsburgh, and is a newsworthy because it happens yearly and brings in a lot of people.
