Northwestern Medill School of Journalism hosted a session with the NFL commissioner while he was in town for the NFL Draft.

Medill alum Christine Brennan served as the moderator. The Daily Northwestern report included this passage.

Goodell told the audience he wanted to speak with Medill students because of the important role the media plays in the NFL.

“I enjoy the opportunity to have these kinds of exchanges. … It was something we thought would be a great opportunity for us to be able to share our perspective,” he said. “Journalism is very important to our business. We want the facts out there.”

Think I’ll just leave that last line alone.
