Adam B. Ellick is a Senior Video Journalist at The New York Times who reports on the world in video and print. Towing a backpack and small camera, Ellick has visited more then 70 countries, often earning a front row seat to historic events. He "discovered" Pakistani schoolgirl Malala Yousafzai in 2009 when he became the first reporter to bring her story to the world in a documentary in which he spent six months documenting Malala when she was still unknown.

He also witnessed the Asian Tsunami from Indonesia, covered Hugo Chavez's violent land reforms in Venezuela, investigated Russia's anti-American youth groups, road-tripped across Iran documenting the views of ordinary Iranians, reported on the Arab Spring protests from Egypt and Bahrain, where he was detained and struck by police while working alongside his colleague Nicholas Kristof.

Ellick's coverage of Pakistan was awarded the 2010 Daniel Pearl Award. He also won consecutive Overseas Press Club awards, and he has been thrice nominated for The Livingston Award, which honors journalists under the age of 35.

Before joining The Times, Ellick was a Fulbright Scholar in Indonesia, and spent four years reporting across Eastern Europe, Russia, including a two-month trip across Siberia. He started his career at the Indianapolis Star as a Pulliam Fellow.
