Foreign Correspondent Recalls 'Bearing Witness' in Africa
New York Times reporter Rukmini Callimachi delivered this year's Marie Colvin Lecture.
During Tuesday night’s Marie Colvin Distinguished Lecture, delivered this year at Stony Brook University by New York Times foreign correspondent Rukmini Callimachi, the Romanian-born journalist suggested that the annual event’s namesake was all about “bearing witness.”
And so, Callimachi felt it only fitting to talk about a time that she did the same. From a summary of the March 8 event in student newspaper The Statesman:
Callimachi spoke about her experiences reporting in the Ivory Coast, where she saw with her own eyes the dead bodies of women and girls who were raped and killed in the thickets of a forest.
