Mallory Medved is an assistant managing editor of weekly publications for the Sun-Times News Group. She helps cover the Lincoln-Way area and towns southwest of Joliet. Being naturally nosy has led her to a career in journalism and fulfilled her dream of getting paid to read. Being a new homeowner and a future bride, she's also perpetually broke, but enjoys hearing about other people in the same situation. She lives in Plainfield but is a native of New Lenox.

Christina Chapman is a Will County resident who desperately wants to live in Grundy County. But since she lost that battle with her boyfriend when they bought a house, she makes due covering Grundy County news for The Herald News in Joliet. When not covering municipal meetings, school events and finding the truth behind the latest coffee talk, she is trying to balance life as a young home owner who is fighting the stereotype that she is living in sin because she is not yet married. She hopes to share with you her perspective on life and the news in hopes that you’ll share yours.
