Ms Trew was described by the judges as one of the world’s leading foreign correspondents, having spent more than a decade reporting from the most dangerous conflict zones including Ukraine and currently Jerusalem.
The Marie Colvin Award was launched in memory 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 British Journalism Award judges in London said: “Marie would have admired Bel’s self-starting courage. Bel is a journalist who has become one of the leading foreign correspondents in the world in recent years.”
Ms Trew began her career as a freelance covering the Arab spring, until she was detained and expelled by the Egyptian authorities for her reporting. She has spent most of 2022 and 2023 crisscrossing Ukraine for multiple investigations, gathering material for her standout March 2023 documentary The Body in the Woods.
