SOC graduate Trey Yingst (BA 2016) spoke by Zoom from Kyiv on Tuesday with Joe Campbell's "Foreign Policy and the Press" class. Trey interspersed references to his time at AU during the 40-minute conversation, in which he discussed his reporting from Ukraine for Fox News and the back story to his recent face-to-face interview with Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Trey is based in Jerusalem and reported from Kyiv and elsewhere in Ukraine during the first weeks of Russia's unprovoked invasion of the country. He was a student in the honors section of "How the News Media Shape History" that Joe taught in 2014.
