If I have learned anything in my short time at Marquette, it's that there is a strong possibility that 6 out of 10 people you'll meet are from the suburbs of the Chicago. So many questions come to mind. What makes so many people from that specific area come to Marquette? Just how highly populated is Chicago's suburban area? No matter the population density or where they got their college degree, the Chicago Tribune covers a variety of news in the more than 50 suburbs of the Chicago area, in a section called TribLocal. This coverage features community news and a chance for readers to send pictures. 

I think it is an interesting tool for the Chicago Tribune to cover the suburbs because Chicago is such a big city with millions of people, and it is great to see a large news corporation covering each part of the city and all facets of news. The large list includes suburbs such as Lake Bluff, Park Ridge, Wheaton, and Des Plaines. For the most part, each suburb features relevant news concerning their area.
