[NU Sports] Spring Practice! - First Trib Story

[Labbe John]

I notice that in the Tribune (and I think other papers), if the reporter is on location, the article will indicate the location at the beginning of the article.  Greenstein's article about the Iowa game didn't have such an indication, so he wasn't on location.  Other articles in today's Tribune sports section have such indications, such as the articles about the Bulls that indicate "Philadelphia" at the beginning or articles about Cubs spring training, that indicate "Mesa, Ariz." at the beginning.

As Roy noted, all of Greenstein's quotes could have come from the radio or TV.

Compare the following two articles, for example:
