News Corp has announced the launch of a fellowship in honour of fallen The Sunday Times war correspondent Marie Colvin.<\/p>\n

The Marie Colvin Fellowship, sponsored by News Corp, will support a 10-week reporting assignment with The Wall Street Journal for a graduating senior in Stony Brook University’s School of Journalism in New York.<\/p>\n

The fellowship honours the journalistic ideals of acclaimed international correspondent Colvin, who was killed in 2012 while covering the conflict in Syria for The Sunday Times.<\/p>\n

During the time she worked at the title, Colvin covered stories around the globe from Chechnya to Sri Lanka to the Middle East.<\/p>\n

The first recipient of the award is Hanaa’ Tameez, 21, who will travel to Mexico City to work as an intern in the Journal’s bureau following her 2016 graduation.<\/p>\n

News Corp chief HR officer Keisha Smith-Jeremie said: “We are so proud to sponsor this fellowship, named after a journalist who herself embodied the very best of this great and essential profession.<\/p>\n

“Support for a free press is one of the pillars of News Corp’s philanthropy, because we seek to protect and defend the ability of journalists to fulfil their vital function around the world.”<\/p>\n

In 2013 Rupert Murdoch, Chairman and CEO of News Corp, made a $50,000 gift to Stony Brook University’s School of Journalism to further the development of the Marie Colvin Centre for International Reporting through the News Corporation Foundation.<\/p>\n

Mr Murdoch’s donation helped to expand the Marie Colvin Centre’s overseas reporting programme, Journalism Without Walls, which among other places has sent student journalists to Russia, Cuba, China, Kenya and Turkey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
