If you’re a university student interested in the world, I invite you to apply for my 2025 win-a-trip contest. I’ve been holding these contests since 2006, each time taking the winner along with me on a reporting trip to cover global issues. My aim is to get more young people interested in neglected topics and writing about them.
The winner may write for The New York Times. HBO made a documentary called “Reporter” based on my 2007 win-a-trip journey to the Democratic Republic of Congo with the winners Leana Wen and Will Okun; it’s available to stream on Amazon and iTunes if you want to see what you’re getting yourself in for. The contest opens now and the entry deadline is 11:59 p.m. E.S.T. on Jan. 31, 2025.
