Trey Yingst, 29, joined Fox News as a Jerusalem-based foreign correspondent five years ago, and since then he’s earned accolades for reporting everywhere from the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip to the front lines of Kyiv. He was a precocious talent even in college, when he founded News2Share, an online media outlet, before landing his job at Fox.
He logged more than 70,000 miles on the road last year, traveling by plane, train and car. “This past year, I’ve logged a lot more miles on the ground, because I’ve been in Ukraine for half the year,” he says. “It’s a massive country, and most of the time we fly to Warsaw, then cross the border into Ukraine for the seven-hour drive to Kyiv.” The eastern front is a further seven to 12 hours. When he flies, Yingst relies on United, because it services several key US hubs from Tel Aviv, where he now lives.
