Nick Kristof Email & Phone Number

I grew up on our family’s sheep and cherry farm outside Yamhill. We were lucky to have a home filled with books. I had great teachers who nurtured me, and a tight-knit community that supported me. In Yamhill schools, I discovered a love of journalism – reporting in Yamhill County for the News-Register in McMinnville, and later interning at the Statesman Journal and The Oregonian. After college and graduate school, I got the job of a lifetime, working for The New York Times, and while there I met Sheryl – another journalist from an immigrant family. Our work at The New York Times took us around the world, and in 1990 we became the first married couple to win a Pulitzer Prize for journalism for our reporting of the 1989 Tiananmen democracy movement in China. I won another Pulitzer in 2006 for coverage of the genocide in Darfur. As a columnist at The Times, I bore witness to some of the biggest humanitarian crises around the globe and tried to show how people and governments could address them and improve lives.In recent years, we’ve put in the work to revitalize our family farm, together with our three adult children: Gregory, Geoffrey, and Caroline. Kristof Farms now produces cider apples and grapes, and we’ve just produced our cider and wine that we sell on the Kristof Farms website.
