She played a war correspondent a few years back, Marie Colvin, who died covering the siege of Homs in Syria.

Celebrated war correspondent Marie Colvin is a woman who is as comfortable downing martinis with high society's elite as she is brazenly staring down warlords and fleeing from gunfire. Driven by an enduring desire to bear witness and give voice to the voiceless, Colvin charges into danger, constantly testing the limits between bravery and bravado.

I'd like to add photographer Gleb Garanich, he's not on social media but search his name on twitter and you'll find amazing photos (potential trigger warning of course!).

I’ve been following Tim Mak’s(NPR journalist in Ukraine) coverage on Twitter. His tweets are also insightful.

The story of those two AP reporters who were secreted out of Mariupol was pretty wild.

I skimmed a fraction of this and my heart was already racing.

I watched an interview today with the editor of the now shut down independent Russian newspaper Novaja Gazeta and there were six photos of their assassinated journalists on the office wall. Can't imagine what that feels like.

To know you and your colleagues are being hunted for reporting what you see and hear.

Just realized the interview had subtitles, so if anyone wants to watch it - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8CW-WAJq0ts

This was when they already knew the paper's days were numbered, the editor talks with such heavy heart in some places, it was a bit hard to listen. She also had an interview with the editor of the also shut down radio station, but it had weird vibes - the guy is good friends with pro-war media people and tries to convince them...

Novaya Gazeta is not shut down (they are the only one left). They are forbidden from reporting on war, even writing the word, so their reporting is very subtle, but in the result even more powerful.
