Event linkcalender

Join Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Nicholas Kristof of The New York Times for a wide-ranging conversation with Pepper Culpepper, Blavantik Professor of Government and Public Policy.

Kristof will reflect on the role of the journalist in the current political moment, speaking from his own experiences as well as to broader issues such as the challenge posed by post-truth politics to the role of journalism in speaking truth to power.

Nicholas Kristof is the author, most recently, of Chasing Hope: A Reporter’s Life. He will be talking about journalism, hope, and the possibility of good government in polarized times. Kristof has been described as the 'conscience of international journalism' and has won multiple awards for his work, including Pulitzer Prizes for both his reporting (on Tiananmen Square, with Sheryl WuDunn) and for his commentary on genocide in Darfur. He graduated from Harvard College and studied at Magdalen College as a Rhodes Scholar.

Please note, this event takes place in person only.
