What a noisy newsroom.

It looks as if there's some lollygagging around the assignment desk. Someone off-camera to the left is doing something that the other guys think is funny. Terry should have turned around and yelled at them to pipe down. :-)
I wonder what sort of camera WLS had in their newsroom. I would imagine it was something relatively small, hence the marginal picture quality. You can tell from the shadows that it took a pretty harsh key light to get decent contrast.

Or as the Trib's Gary Deeb called her, "Terry 'Disco' Murphy", for the kind of stories she usually reported on...
