American journalist and one of the UK’s best-known war correspondents, Marie Colvin, and award-winning French photojournalist Rémi Ochlik were killed in Homs, Syria, today.
“I want to report with great shock the sad news of the death of Marie Colvin in Syria today,” said John Witherow, editor of The Sunday Times, in a statement. “Marie was an extraordinary figure in the life of The Sunday Times, driven by a passion to cover wars in the belief that what she did mattered. She believed profoundly that reporting could curtail the excesses of brutal regimes and make the international community take notice.”
