From a reader:

Dear Jonah,
I went to the Braves Cubs game last night here in Atlanta. A group of
Cubs fans who were also VATech students. They had decided to leave
Blacksburg for Atlanta for a couple of days because the media.
Apparently, reporters have taken over the entire town. You can’t get
into to eat anywhere or so much as walk on campus without being acosted
by one. They are apparently driving the locals nuts. Real compasionate
the media is.
