About Marie Colvin
In a career spanning more than 30 years, Marie reported from the front lines of war zones around the world and was renowned for her bravery, her tenacity, her skill and her compassion. Marie believed passionately in the need to bear witness to the atrocities of war and to report on conflicts from the front line.
“Our mission is to report these horrors of war with accuracy and without prejudice. We always have to ask ourselves whether the level of risk is worth the story. Journalists covering combat shoulder great responsibilities and face difficult choices. Sometimes they pay the ultimate price.”
— Marie Colvin
