Katie Murphy
As Print Co-Editor-In-Chief, senior Katie Murphy is addicted to distributing fresh issues every other week, even when it means covering her hands — and sometimes clothes — in rubbed-off ink. She keeps an emergency stack of papers from her three years on staff in both her bedroom and car. Between 2 a.m. deadline nights, Katie "plays tennis" and "does math" (code for daydreaming about the perfect story angle and font kerning). Only two things scare her: Oxford commas and the number of Tate's Disney vacations. »
