Megan Cain ’19 is off to San Francisco, one of 29 journalism students from across the country — and one of five from the MJ-school — to compete in the William Randolph Hearst Foundation’s 59th annual National Writing, Photojournalism, Radio, Television and Multimedia Championships June 1–6, 2019. On Tuesday, May 28, she spoke by phone with Hearst awardee Curry Kirkpatrick ’65, while he drove home to Hilton Head, South Carolina, from a Paul McCartney concert in Raleigh. Kirkpatrick, who penned iconic stories for Sports Illustrated for nearly 30 years and was recognized by the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame with a Curt Gowdy Media Award in 2001, was a Hearst award winner in 1963 and 1964. This interview has been condensed and edited.
