Rachel Parnell asked Nicholas D. Kristof:

2. Do you find it difficult to differentiate between journalist and activist when faced with these situations?

Nicholas D. Kristof Yes, sometimes. It helps that I'm a columnist, paid to have opinions, but I do try to maintain my independence at all times. On issues that I deeply care about -- sex trafficking, Darfur genocide, obstetric fistula -- it's very difficult to pretend to be dispassionate and neutral, and I don't try.
