Nicholas D. Kristof and Casey Parks on Advocacy Journalism

Pulitzer Prize-winning NYT columnist Nicholas D. Kristof is a reporter who calls attention to gripping stories and sobering statistics from the Congo, Darfur and Pakistan. In 2006, Kristof held a contest to find the most capable journalism student in America to accompany him on a reporting trip to Central Africa. The winner, 23yr old Casey Parks, wrote of her desire “to break people's hearts so adeptly that they move into action." Kristof and Parks reflect on their trip and what comes next.
