Hi! If you’re reading this, chances are you know me already. If you don’t, my name is Lukas. I am a junior in college revisiting my passion for journalism. Throughout high school, beginning in my sophomore year, I was an entertainment writer, entertainment editor, and feature editor for my school’s newspaper, Hy News. In addition to writing and editing, I was recognized at various journalism competitions in categories including review writing, editorial writing, and copy editing. In April 2025, I was awarded 3rd Place in Headline Writing at the IHSA State Journalism competition.

Pellmann News is my independent news source where I post whatever speaks to me. From nonpartisan news highlights, to music album reviews, Pellmann News has everything. If you have any article ideas, feel free to message me privately!

DISCLAIMER: All thoughts and views featured in the editorial, feature, and personal blog categories are my own. It is my belief that news journalism should be nonpartisan and fact-oriented, with minimal attention on the reporter. In congruence with this belief, my articles under the news and entertainment categories will be more resemblant of traditional journalism grammar, rhetoric, and formality. Regarding fact checking, I do my own research and prioritize nonpartisan sources such as The Associated Press and Reuters, however I am human. If you believe my facts are ill-informed, please consult the articles’ attached sources or message me privately.
