American journalist and director Brent Renault, who was killed by Russian invaders near Irpin on Sunday, March 13, worked for The New York Times. This information was confirmed in the newspaper.
They noted that Reno, 50, had previously worked for a number of American news and media organizations, including HBO, NBC and The New York Times.
The newspaper also reported that Reno had worked for the NYT in previous years . In particular, the last editorial task was carried out back in 2015, and they also noted that he did not shoot reports for a newspaper from Ukraine.
The newspaper added that reports that he was a correspondent for The NYT spread due to the fact that they found a press badge issued by the newspaper many years ago on him.
“We are deeply saddened to learn of the death of Brent Renault. He was a talented director,” said Danielle Rhodes Ha, a spokesperson for The Times.
Reno often worked with his brother Craig Reno and received a Peabody Award for his Vice News documentary about the Chicago school. They have worked on film and television projects from conflict zones and hotspots around the world.
Adviser to the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Anton Gerashchenko in his statement noted that Renault “paid with his life for trying to expose the perfidy, cruelty and ruthlessness of the aggressor.”
The Russian military in Irpin on March 13 cynically shot American journalist Brent Renault. His colleague named Juan was injured and was hospitalized in Okhmatdet.
