Trinity University is proud to announce that Nicholas Kristof, a two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and renowned author, will deliver the 2024 Maverick Lecture. The event is set to take place on Thursday, September 19, at 7:30 p.m. in Stieren Theater. Kristof will present “Lessons from 30 Years of Covering the World,” sharing his extensive experience and the insights he’s gained throughout his remarkable career.
The first Pulitzer, awarded in 1990, was shared with his wife, Sheryl WuDunn, for their in-depth coverage of the democracy movement in China, notably the Tiananmen Square protests. Their reporting not only documented the historic events but also provided a poignant portrayal of the struggle for democracy in a repressive regime. This work was a testament to Kristof’s commitment to human rights and his dedication to amplifying the voices of those who are often unheard.
Beyond his Pulitzer-winning work, Kristof has conducted high-profile interviews with influential global leaders, including former U.S. President Barack Obama and former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. His pioneering efforts as the first blogger on The New York Times website further cemented his role as a trailblazer in modern journalism, adapting to new media while maintaining the integrity of traditional reporting.
The Maverick Lecture, named in honor of the late Maury Maverick Jr., a legendary civil rights lawyer, Texas legislator, Marine, and outspoken newspaper columnist, continues to be a platform for exploring topics that reflect Maverick’s dedication to American civic discourse.
