Well, journalism as practiced by the NYT, anyway. (I wonder if Jason Blair is eligible? But I digress)
Think about it - Nick stuck in the bush in Africa with a conservative? He'd cry real tears. It could be quite an experience for the right FReeper student - who would definitely bring Kristof a "fresh perspective!"
Good post! A great opportunity for someone. Kristoff is not so bad on some subjects, and he'd be well served to choose someone with a different perspective from his own. And let's hope whoever he picks that he or she can actually write well!
