CNN cameraman to speak on reporting experiences

Greg Danilenko has seen counterinsurgency operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. He’s been in war zones in Chechnya and Bosnia and has seen the NATO bombings in Belgrade and Kosovo. He’s seen the Israeli-Palestinian conflict firsthand.

On Thursday at UCI, Danilenko, a CNN cameraman, will discuss his experiences as an independent journalist in some of the most violence-plagued locations in the world. He will share photos and video footage from his reporting in Afghanistan and Iraq over the summer and discuss his recently filmed documentary about operations in both regions.

Danilenko’s visit is part of the International Studies Public Forum lecture series.

The presentation will be at 3:30 p.m. Thursday in the Social Science Plaza A on campus. It is free and open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis. To reserve a seat call (949) 824-9055.
