Nicholas Kristof 'Chasing Hope'

In-person – Wednesday September 25th 7PM

Join us on Wednesday, September 25, at 7:00 p.m. as Succeed2Gether's Montclair Literary Festival welcomes Nicholas Kristof, “Chasing Hope: A Journalist’s Life.” In conversation with Stephen Engelberg of ProPublica.   

"Nick Kristof…has a penchant for covering the stories too many shy away from—rolling up his sleeves and getting his hands dirty with the hope that it will motivate us to act. His North Star has never wavered. This book should be required reading for anyone interested in journalism, or for those who need to be reminded that, in the right hands, it can be a truly noble profession.”--Katie Couric

The event is co-sponsored by Montclair Public Library's Open Book Open Mind and co-presented by The Local/Baristanet. Tickets to this event are $35.

This event will be held in The Sanctuary of the First Congregational Church of Montclair, 40 South Fullerton Ave, Montclair, 07042. If you require any special accommodations to attend, please email montclairliteraryfestiva[email protected] before the event.

Nicholas Donabet Kristof (born April 27, 1959) is an American journalist and political commentator. A winner of two Pulitzer Prizes, he is a regular CNN contributor and an op-ed columnist for The New York Times.  

Stephen Engelberg, after over 25 years in journalism including editorial positions at the New York Times, became the founding managing editor of ProPublica and has been its editor-in-chief since 2013.
