Chicago's Media Down the Street from Dominican

After a long 8-hour day at Dominican yesterday, I was anxiously driving home. I was hurrying spend time with my mom (who was visiting my sister and I) and to walk my dog, Romeo. Plans changed, as they often do when a hungry journalist is ready for a story. I saw ABC 7's live truck at parked on Augusta right in front of Concordia University. I wondered, "Hmmmm......Why is 7 here?" So I turned around, parked and approached the photographer.

After I told him about my internship at NBC this summer, he was glad that a random person wasn't bothering him (as countless, nosey people do when out on a story). He was excited that a fellow journalist was there. Not just a bum. So we spoke, he told me John Garcia was in the truck and I asked him questions: Was there breaking news? Did something happen? What's going on?

He filled me on about Concordia's huge press conference that was held earlier that day.
