Nicholas Kristof
Wikipedia
Excerpt: Kristof was born in Chicago, Illinois, and grew up on a sheep and cherry farm in Yamhill, Oregon.[5] He is the son of Jane Kristof (née McWilliams) and Ladis "Kris" Kristof (born Władysław Krzysztofowicz), both long-time professors at Portland State University in Portland, Oregon...
Kristof's biography says he has traveled to more than 150 countries.[10] Jeffrey Toobin of CNN and The New Yorker, a Harvard classmate, has said: "I'm not surprised to see him emerge as the moral conscience of our generation of journalists. I am surprised to see him as the Indiana Jones of our generation of journalists."[11] Bill Clinton said in September 2009: "There is no one in journalism, anywhere in the United States at least, who has done anything like the work he has done to figure out how poor people are actually living around the world, and what their potential is. ... So every American citizen who cares about this should be profoundly grateful that someone in our press establishment cares enough about this to haul himself all around the world to figure out what's going on. ... I am personally in his debt, as are we all."[12]
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation says that a page one article by Kristof in January 1997 about child mortality in the developing world helped direct the couple -- (Bill and Melinda Gates) -- toward global health as a focus of philanthropy. A framed copy of that article is in the gallery of the Gates Foundation. Kristof has continued to write often about human rights and social justice. In 2020 Darren Walker of the Ford Foundation described Kristof as "journalism’s North Star on issues of poverty, dignity and justice."[14]
