Voice of America Chief National Correspondent Steve Herman will be the guest speaker at the National Press Club's American Legion Post 20 meeting on Thursday, Nov. 10 at 12 noon in the McClendon Room. Herman will discuss the war in Ukraine, and efforts to get accurate information into Ukraine and Russia. Herman has served as a VOA correspondent and bureau chief in India, Korea, and Thailand. He also served in 2016 as VOA's Senior Diplomatic Correspondent, based at the State Department, before covering the entire Trump administration and the first eight months of the Biden administration as VOA's White House bureau chief. His travels have taken him to approximately 75 countries, which included on-scene reporting from combat zones, civil uprisings, and areas struck by major natural disasters. He's a former president of the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan and the Seoul Foreign Correspondents' Club.
