Kate Fallon '16 gets the story, runs with it.
Kate Fallon '16 participated in what is known as the "running of the interns." Interns of various news organizations wait in the Supreme Court for decisions to be released and then hand deliver hard copies of the news to their media teams. If the decisions are groundbreaking, interns sprint with hopes of being the first to break the news. So they must come prepared — pairing their business attire with running shoes. This past week, the decisions were groundbreaking.
