The Dispatch has recently announced the appointment of Kelsey Dallas as the managing editor of SCOTUSblog. This move underscores The Dispatch’s commitment to enhancing its legal and editorial content. According to SCOTUSblog, Dallas is expected to steer the website into the future, building on its comprehensive coverage of the Supreme Court.
Zachary Shemtob, executive editor of SCOTUSblog, expressed his enthusiasm about the new appointment, stating, “I am overjoyed that Kelsey is coming onto SCOTUSblog.” Dallas brings with her a wealth of experience from her 11-year tenure at the Deseret News, where she focused on religion and Supreme Court reporting.
Dallas herself expressed her excitement for her new role, acknowledging the crucial role SCOTUSblog plays in breaking down Supreme Court activities. “I’m thrilled to be joining SCOTUSblog after years of relying on it as a reporter,” she said.
SCOTUSblog, founded in 2002, has maintained its reputation for thorough and non-partisan Supreme Court coverage. Its acquisition by The Dispatch in 2025 aligns with The Dispatch’s broader strategy to expand its legal reporting capabilities. Dallas’s appointment as managing editor is anticipated to further enrich the blog’s offerings, particularly during a time when the Supreme Court continues to be a focal point of national attention.
