Two journalists were killed while reporting in Ukraine on Monday, including Pierre Zakrzewski, a longtime Fox News photojournalist.
Zakrzewski's death was announced on Tuesday by Fox News Media chief executive Suzanne Scott who said he was killed when a vehicle he was traveling in with correspondent Benjamin Hall came under fire.
Hall, who was also injured, remains hospitalized in Ukraine.
Scott on Tuesday remembered Zakrzewski as a journalist who was "profoundly committed to telling the story and his bravery, professionalism and work ethic were renowned among journalists at every media outlet."
"He was wildly popular — everyone in the media industry who has covered a foreign story knew and respected Pierre," Scott said.
Scott described Zakrzewski's talents as vast and said that "there wasn't a role that he didn't jump in to help with in the field - from photographer to engineer to editor to producer. She said that he "did it all under immense pressure with tremendous skill."
