The shortlist is today revealed for the Marie Colvin Award – one of the categories at the Press Gazette British Journalism Awards.

The prize is awarded in honour of the late Sunday Times foreign correspondent – who was killed reporting on the plight of people in the besieged Syrian city of Homs in 2012. The judges in this category are looking for a journalist who has raised the reputation of journalism through their efforts to bear witness to events in the way that Colvin did.

The winner will be announced at the British Journalism Awards dinner at the De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms on 10 December 2018.
