Hugh David Scott Greenway (born May 5, 1935) is an American journalist who has worked as a foreign affairs correspondent for Time Life, The Washington Post, and The Boston Globe.
Greenway has covered conflicts in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Iraq, Pakistan, Burma, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Bosnia, and Croatia.
As the presidential pool were all in Dallas, Greenway was sent to the White House to cover the event there, reporting that "No one around Kennedy thought to call the president's staff.
He acquired a reputation for being lucky at first, though that luck ran out in Hue during the Tet Offensive in February 1968 where, embroiled in battle, he actually picked up an M-16 and fired at the enemy.
As the U.S. participation in the war was coming to an end, Greenway found opportunities to travel with fellow correspondents like Frances FitzGerald into the jungles of central Vietnam to interview Viet Cong guerilla leaders.
Greenway has been a Bosch Fellow in Public Policy at the American Academy in Berlin[4] and was awarded their Edward Weintal Prize for diplomatic journalism.
