About the Marie Colvin Center
The Marie Colvin Center for International Reporting educates and prepares the next generation of foreign correspondents, and supports professional journalists around the world.
Increasingly, events half a world away have far-reaching repercussions, and reporting from the front lines has a vital role to play in a functioning global society. The Colvin Center is committed to the mission of accurate, uncensored information that flows freely across political and geographical borders.
Our Commitment
The Colvin Center aims to uphold the causes for which Marie Colvin gave her life:
- Democracy, human rights and freedom of expression
- Justice for the victims of war and gender-based violence
- Support for refugees and displaced people
- Attention to the resilience, safety and well-being of reporters at risk
