About
Maeva Bambuck is a Cross Platform Video Producer based in New York, working across all the network platforms. She joined CNN in 2025.
Bambuck won two Emmy awards and was nominated for several more for her reporting on Ukraine, Pakistan, Cuba , and the Central African Republic, among others. She won an Overseas Press Club award for her reporting in Syria. Prior to CNN, she was a Senior Editorial Producer at VICE News and held various roles at the Associated Press (AP) in the Middle East and in Latin America. Prior to that, she spent six years as a foreign correspondent in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Haiti.
During her time at the AP, Bambuck covered the Syrian civil war and the fight against the Islamic State extensively, traveling to Syria and Iraq on multiple occasions, and documenting the US-led air fight against Syrian and ISIS targets from aircraft carriers USS Theodore Roosevelt and Charles-de-Gaulle. She embedded with the foreign legions in Mali and Niger, covering the Barkhane operation aimed at interrupting the jihadist financing route through the Sahara Desert. Her reporting on global terrorism brought her back home, to France, to cover the 2015 terror attacks on Charlie Hebdo, on the Bataclan, and the Nice attack of 2016.
In Afghanistan, Bambuck embedded with Afghan forces in Tagab and Bamyian and with French forces in Kapisa and Surobi. She travelled extensively to remote parts of Badakhshan, Balkh provinces and to the border with Pakistan to report on maternal mortality and health education challenges, earning a UN press fellowship in Global Health in the process.
Bambuck has been covering Haiti since 2010. She was the first foreign reporter present in Saint-Marc, Haiti, before a cholera epidemic was confirmed. She subsequently covered presidential elections, various bouts of unrest, the return of Baby Doc and Jean-Bertrand Aristide, the aftermath of the 2021 presidential assassination and the latest spiral into gang violence.
Bambuck is a graduate of Boston University and an adjunct professor at CUNY’s Graduate Center for Journalism.
