Come get answers to these questions (and more during) our annual concentration meeting, when we will be hosting a conversation with rising journalist Peter Savodnik. Hear firsthand about Savodnik's experiences covering international news - and get your questions answered about what it takes to "make it."

Peter Savodnik is a journalist in New York. He has written for GQ, Harper's Magazine, Conde Nast Traveler, W, WWD, Time, Wired, Slate, The Los Angeles Times Magazine, The New York Review of Books, The Washington Post, The New Republic and other venues. Formerly based in Moscow, he has traveled extensively in the former Soviet Union and reported on politics, crime, culture, travel and fashion from that part of the world. One of many highlights of Savodnik's two-year stint in Russia was a five-week trip on the Trans-Mongolian railroad, beginning in Moscow and ending in Beijing.
