I will definitely go back through and italicize. I agree, it probably will make it much easier to distinguish.

I like the idea of the narrator winding up on the news himself. The story being told from his point of view may make that idea difficult to execute, but it's on the table no doubt.

Oh, and as for the character feeling real, it may be because a lot of this is based around what I actually do for a living and where I actually work. If it feels real, then I can't really complain.

See, I really like that it's told from his point of view, and the getting on the news idea is both interesting and realistic - look at that California arsonist, who (if I'm recalling correctly) was caught because he had taken note of the fires he caused, or wrote a book with many similarities to his crimes. Same kind of thing here, the criminal getting a rush off of seeing how others react to his "work"... Not implying anything though haha... ha...

And now things make sense if that's your job. Even though I don't know every aspect of what the job would entail, I was able to easily understand and visualize what was going on.
