The New York Times announced Bono’s first column will appear in Sunday’s edition with an accompanying podcast. Mr. Vox called it an honor and joked that he’s “never been great with the full stops or commas.”
Times editorial page editor Andrew Rosenthal said Bono “is an extraordinary man who thinks deeply about his art and the major issues confronting the world.”
The 48-year-old U2 rocker has been known for his fight against AIDS in Africa and campaign for Third World debt relief.
