Features and fairs are typical assignments for summer interns, but grad student Molly Priddy, a reporter for the Billings Gazette, is getting a rare chance to write about presidential politics. Molly reported on Sen. Barack Obama's recent visit to the Crow Reservation and grabbed some crowd reaction to Sen. Hillary Clinton's visit Wedensday. Molly also covered yesterday's speech from Chelsea Clinton who came to Billings in support of her mom.
"Covering Hillary Clinton was a funny experience because my job was to get nuggets of info from people about why they were there, where they are from, do they believe stump speeches, etc.," Molly reports. "It's a great way to learn how to talk to all different kinds of people. They're probably people I'd never talk to otherwise. It's something I'd never learn just sitting in a classroom."
