He’s currently a Middle East Correspondent for Fox News based out of Jerusalem. He’s primarily used by radio, but also reports for Fox News Channel. After two years in the region, Scott has covered history including the Israeli pullout from Gaza, the Saddam Hussein trial/execution, the Ariel Sharon hospitalization, Israeli soldier kidnap near Gaza, Hamas’ Palestinian election victory, and the war between Israel and Hezbollah.

Prior to his posting in Jerusalem, he served as Fox News Channel’s Kabul Correspondent and Bureau Chief. This after working in Iraq with Fox News for a collective seven months in 2003/04. In Kabul, Scott reported on the lead up to the first free presidential election in Afghanistan and hosted live TV coverage of President Karzai’s inauguration. He spent a year and a half in Afghanistan.

Hard live news has been Scott’s mainstay for the last several years, but he has also reported on the changing lives of Afghans including feature TV stories on women small business, the first female Olympians, and the Buddha statues in Bamiyan. Out of the Middle East bureau, he has done radio features on the life of a Gaza family under sanctions, life under the Katyusha rocket in northern Israel during the war with Hezbollah, and profiled a neighborhood in Beirut at the heart of sectarian violence. For TV, he did a story on the biggest Elvis fan in the Middle East and a Tel Aviv University professor who developed the computer program ‘Beauty Function.’

In his years between CNN and his work in Israel, the Palestinian territories, Iraq and Afghanistan with Fox News, he has covered stories in Central America, and Asia for National Geographic Channel and freelance for CNN. He has also used his journalistic talents working/volunteering for humanitarian organizations in Guatemala, Kosovo, Macedonia, Mongolia, and Pakistan.

As the son of an airline employee, Scott’s been globetrotting since the age of two and attributes his desire and dedication to journalism – digging into cultures / plights and reporting them to the outside world – to his early worldly exposure.

Due to his eight childhood moves, Scott is a ferocious self-starter. Most of his recent broadcast journalism experience has been working as a one-person operation. Thus, his skill set runs outside the expected parameters of a correspondent. He can manage a bureau, produce, shoot, setup video phone live shots and transmit video via satellite phones. In fact, when he was freelancing in Pakistan during 2002 he co-founded a coalition of journalists with a former CNN correspondent.

The self-starting aspect of Scott’s personality goes beyond the professional arena; he has run three marathons and is an avid still photographer. He has traveled solo to regions of the world in crisis for stories and to volunteer his talents.

Scott’s also a published author and writer, contributing to foxnews.com, nationalgeographic.com and has reported for New York Daily News, and The Times of London.

With photographer Katherine Kiviat, his wife, Scott published a book on the plight of Afghan women entitled “Parwana.” The book profiles 39 women from all walks of life and how they are affecting change as they become active participants in their country for the first time in decades. Five thousand copies of the book have been distributed to all girls’ high schools in Afghanistan. The project was funded by USAID, the US Embassy in Kabul and Kodak USA. Images and interviews from the book have been on display in Kabul (Foundation for Culture and Civil Society), New York (Redux Pictures Gallery) and London (Lancaster House).

“Parwana” has been picked up by US publisher Gibbs-Smith who will release an English version of the book “Women of Courage: Intimate Stories from Afghanistan” in September 2007.

Scott’s US base is New York City. He has basic Spanish skills and graduated from the University of San Diego in 1990, receiving a BA in Communication Studies with an English Literature minor. He is a member of the Frontline Club in London and has received hostile environment training by the AKE Group, UK. His overseas postings over 3 months have included -- Jerusalem; Kabul, Afghanistan; Baghdad, Iraq; Skopje, Macedonia; Islamabad, Pakistan; and San Jose, Costa Rica.
