Claude Salhani

Today in my COMM 351 class (Writing for the Mass Media), UPI International Editor Claude Salhani spoke about his experiences as a journalist in the Middle East. He shared some really interesting stories about how he took risks as a photographer and journalist in order to get information. He has covered events in the Middle East for 30 years, and spent half of that time living in the areas he wrote about. He is an accomplished writer, reporter, editor, and photographer. He really demonstrated a passion for his work, and said "There is no greater job in the world than a journalist."
