CNN international correspondent plans to discuss her career at Press Club virtual event on Wednesday, Sept. 30, at 1 p.m.

In her 15-year career spanning four television networks, Clarissa Ward has crisscrossed the globe covering one major international event after the next. Her reporting has taken her everywhere from Putin’s Russia to earthquake-ravaged Japan to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. In recent years, Ward repeatedly braved the frontlines of conflict-ridden Syria with a fierce determination to show the human cost of war. 

Ward, CNN's chief international correspondent, plans to chronicle her career in a one-hour program that will stream live at 1 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 30. The free event, sponsored by the National Press Club International Correspondents Team, is open to both the media and general public. To ask questions either before or during the program, email [email protected].

In her new memoir, On All Fronts: The Education of a Journalist, Ward reflects on the physical and emotional toll of reporting from the world’s most volatile places. Ward shares her experience as a female journalist reporting in male-dominated spaces, and examines her own battles to get international coverage onto the evening news agenda.
