This, that, & a lot of Trump: my bylines for The Christian Science Monitor

For five months after finishing my Master's in journalism in fall 2016, I interned for The Christian Science Monitor in Boston, where I wrote for the Pulitzer Prize–winning newspaper's rapid response team.

I covered a smattering of business, technology, and justice stories — plus quite a few stories about Donald Trump, both before and after he was elected president. Here's a sampling:

  • Do offensive names deserve trademark protection? Supreme Court to weigh in.
    (Sept. 29, 2016)
  • How a journalist used old and new techniques to investigate Trump charity
    (Oct. 4, 2016)
  • Indiana child re-sentenced for murder: A sign of juvenile justice reform?
    (Oct. 31, 2016)
  • As Trump's AG, how might Sessions crack down on recreational marijuana?
    (Nov. 22, 2016)
  • 'Unpresidented': Do typos make Trump seem more authentic?
    (Dec. 18, 2016)
  • Trump accuses 'dishonest' media of fabricating his well-documented feud with CIA
    (Jan. 22, 2017)
  • Emoluments lawsuit: Political maneuvering or a viable tactic?
    (Jan. 23, 2017)
