A Fox News correspondent was hurt even though covering the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the outlet verified on Monday.
Journalist Benjamin Corridor was injured although reporting in Ukraine and is at this time hospitalized, Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott claimed in a memo to employees on Monday.
“This is information that we hate to go alongside to you, but it from time to time comes about in the middle of a conflict,” television host John Roberts stated of the incident on air Monday afternoon.
Roberts claimed the network had “incredibly handful of aspects” and that teams on the floor had been “doing the job to assemble more data.”
“The safety of our Fox staff is of the utmost worth and our maximum precedence,” Roberts reported. “More on this as we get it.”
Hall at the moment serves as Fox’s Condition Section correspondent and joined the community in 2015. He has described extensively on the entrance lines of conflicts, from Syria and Iraq through the battle from ISIS to the wars in Afghanistan and Gaza. He was formerly a overseas correspondent based mostly in London.
At the time news of Hall’s hospitalization was noted, Fox News journalists and personalities immediately took to social media to share assistance for their colleague.
“Covering a war is dangerous company,” anchor Bret Baier explained. “Be sure to hold all of the crews on the floor – and the folks there in your prayers – but now – primarily Ben.”
“Praying fervently for [Hall] and all our co-staff in harm’s way. Make sure you sign up for me,” tweeted anchor Shannon Bream.
The incident arrives just times soon after an American photographer and videographer Brent Renaud was killed in Ukraine and a further journalist was wounded covering Russia’s ongoing invasion.

“Our feelings, the president’s views, our administration’s feelings are with him, his family, and all of you at Fox Information,” Jen Psaki reported, talking to a reporter from Fox.
“We surely would like him all the greatest a speedy recovery and a risk-free return,” Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said. “This is a war that failed to need to have to be fought … [but] there are journalists from all over the entire world on the ground attempting to find out the real truth and to show that truth of the matter and to notify these essential stories.”
