Accepting the Courage in Journalism Award from the International Women’s Media Foundation in 2000, Colvin said, “What’s important is trying to bear witness. The pain of war is beyond telling.” French photographer Remi Ochlik was killed in the same attack. The Marie Colvin Memorial Foundation was established to honor Marie’s legacy by supporting organizations working to ease the suffering of victims of war. She was known for her emotional accounts of civilians caught in the threat of war.
