Journalist Goes on a Walk Around the World to Find the Story of Humanity
PBS News Hour / Pulitzer Center | 12 November 2015
Paul Salopek
Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Paul Salopek was born in California, USA, and raised in Mexico. As a foreign correspondent, he has worked in Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia and Latin America.
Paul Salopek has been out for a
walk—a very long walk—since 2013. His route stretches from Ethiopia’s
Great Rift Valley to the very southern tip of South America, tracing the
path of humanity from its African origins, across deserts and
mountains.
PBS NewsHour's Hari Sreenivasan caught up with the two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning foreign correspondent in the former Soviet republic of Georgia to discuss his journey so far.

PAUL SALOPEK: There has got to be a space to slow down, analyze and absorb more meaningful information. I don’t think we need more information. I think we need more meaning.
