玛丽·科尔文
玛丽·科尔文（MarieColvin），著名美国籍女记者，生前任英国《星期日泰晤士报》资深战地新闻记者。2012年2月22日，在叙利亚政府军炮击霍姆斯市时被炸身亡。她为报道而生、为人性而战，直至在战火中得到永生。“如果你没法阻止战争，那你就把战争的真相告诉世界”，这是战地记者永远的格言。
1956年出生在美国纽约长岛，她曾经是耶鲁大学英语文学专业的高材生，大四那年，她参加了一场研讨会，讨论的是著名记者约翰·赫西关于日本广岛原子弹爆炸后情况的报道，这部美国20世纪新闻业的巅峰之作，深深地震撼了科尔文。玛丽·科尔文从1986年开始从事战地记者的工作，她一直生活在战争烽火中。2001年，科尔文前往斯里兰卡报道战事，她遭到了政府军的攻击。最终，科尔文在美国大使馆的保护下捡回一条命，但左眼永久失明。科尔文系上一条黑色眼罩，奔赴下一个战场。死亡就这么嚣张地逼近她，她能借以抗衡的，只有信念。“民众有权知道政府、军队以他们的名义在做什么”“要相信，当你在国外的战场上出生入死时，很多人正等着看你的报道。要相信他们在关心战争中的不幸，并在试图阻止它”。
凭借她在车臣和科索沃的报道赢得了国际妇女传媒基金会的“勇气奖”，此前，她还曾凭借在前南斯拉夫的报道获得了英国“最佳驻外记者奖”。科尔文说：“我注重的是战争中的人性。它让处于和平环境的人们也不觉得遥远和陌生”。
