Moment of Truth: Journalism and Democracy in an Age of Misinformation

About This Event

Join us for an evening with New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof. Perhaps best known for his coverage of global events, Kristof has twice won the Pulitzer Prize for covering Tiananmen Square and later the genocide in Darfur. He is also a best-selling author with his wife Sheryl WuDunn, and a recipient of a number of awards, including the Anne Frank Award and the Dayton Literary Peace Award.

His talk, part of a statewide program called “Moment of Truth: Journalism and Democracy in an Age of Misinformation,” will examine the relationship between the humanities, journalism, and democracy. Kristof will draw on his incredible career covering stories in the US and abroad to speak to our own precarious moment.

This event is sponsored by the Center for Public Humanities and Humanities Washington, with the generous support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Selinger-Shone Foundation, and the Pulitzer Prize.
