GROVE CITY, Pa. – Charles Wiley, experienced international journalist and war correspondent, will visit the Grove City College campus on April 2. His presentation, “Principles for Developing a Sound American Foreign Policy,” will be at 7 p.m. in Sticht Lecture Hall of the Hall of Arts and Letters and is sponsored by The Center for Vision & Values at Grove City College and the Department of Sociology.
A speaker with Accuracy in Media, Wiley has reported from 100 countries and covered 11 wars, including four terms in Vietnam. He reported for NBC, UPI, the “London Express” and numerous other U.S. and foreign news media. His tenacity led to his arrest eight times by secret police, including the KGB, and imprisonment in a Cuban dungeon while he was a correspondent for New York City radio station WOR. He went into Afghanistan with the mujahideen during the war against the Soviet Union. Later during a tour of Kosovo, his visits to troops from many nations included the Russian 13th Tactical Group.
Among his accomplishments, Wiley helped establish guidelines for a free press in Mongolia, was a speaker for the White House Public Outreach Group and lectured in New Zealand at the Civil Defence Academy. Having lectured in 50 states and on five continents, he frequently addresses military audiences in the U.S. and abroad, as well as colleges and high schools.
A graduate of New York University, his freelance articles and photographs have appeared in numerous publications, including the “New York Times,” ‘U.S. News & World Report,” “Newsweek,” “National Review” and “Time.” He has appeared on hundreds of network and local programs, including many times on CNN’s “Crossfire” and C-SPAN.
