Marie Colvin.
She was undoubtedly one of the fiercest journalists to have walked this planet.
Not only was she brave, she was probably one of the few journalists in today's 'Youtube world' (as she called it) to believe in the importance of groundwork.
It's only when you're close to the action that you can truly understand the sufferings of a population plagued with war.
Colvin understood this, and this was what constantly drove her out of the comfort of her London home to face all kinds of threats to her own life.
Struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and a drinking problem, out there on the field, uncovering the truth is where she felt most at home.
There was a great article written about her by Vanity Fair, right after she was killed in Syria while covering the siege of Homs in.
Anybody interested in knowing more about this inspiring woman should read it.
