LINCOLN (AP) — A University of Nebraska-Lincoln student has won a reporting trip to Africa.
The university says journalism student Mitch Smith was selected for “Win A Trip” on the strength of his winning essay.
The 19-year-old from Overland Park, Kan., will accompany New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof.
Kristof says “Win A Trip” is aimed at focusing attention on global poverty and possible remedies.
Past “Win A Trip” winners have reported from Cameroon, Rwanda, Burundi, the eastern Congo, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Liberia.
