Yingst to Author “Black Saturday” for FOX
News Books, Publishing October 1st
Trey Yingst has been promoted to chief foreign correspondent,
announced FOX News Media CEO Suzanne Scott. In this position,
Yingst will continue to provide coverage of international issues
and events from locations around the globe. Additionally, Yingst
was tapped as FOX News Books’ newest author, penning their 12th
title “Black Saturday,” a gripping, firsthand account of the
October 7, 2023 terrorist attack in Israel and now ongoing war that
it started in Gaza.
In making the announcement, Scott said, “During major breaking
news in every corner of the world, Trey has been the eyes and ears
on the ground for our viewers since 2018. Trey’s indefatigable work
ethic and dedication in multiple war zones has made him an
incredible asset to FOX News and we are extremely proud of his
first-class journalism.”
Yingst added, “I’m honored by the incredible opportunities that
FOX News has afforded me throughout my journalism career. Our team
arrived in southern Israel on the morning of October 7th as the
massacre was unfolding and ‘Black Saturday’ plunges the reader into
that day while exposing the realities of war told by Israelis and
Palestinians. I plan to continue reporting on critical breaking
news developments around the world and covering the human
experience firsthand. I’m passionate about the work we do and look
forward to many more years of traveling and reporting around the
world.”
Publishing on Tuesday, October 1st, “Black Saturday” combines
candor, grit, and veracity, as Yingst paints a vivid picture of
horrors and violence, matched by acts of courage and humanity that
cut through the darkness on the morning of October 7th. A testament
to unwavering resilience, this book is a chronicle of Yingst’s
experience in relentlessly pursuing the truth throughout the
complicated conflict between Israel and Hamas. It includes
interviews with released hostages, Israeli soldiers and Palestinian
civilians, in addition to Israeli and Hamas leadership. The title
marks the 12th for the imprint and follows back-to-back national
bestsellers with nearly 3 million copies sold to date.
Based in Jerusalem, Yingst was the first U.S. reporter on the
