I'm quite fond of Jeremy Bowen, he's a good chap, done a lot of work around the Middle East, presented a damn good program on war correspondents and the dangers involved. Well worth a watch:
Kate Adie is a classic, for a while her name was synonymous with conflict reporting, so I think she has to be in the list, definitely.
John Simpson should probably go on the list but I'm not a massive fan of the chap, I consider him a bit full of himself at times, but he's done a lot of work in conflict zones.
Of course, these are just modern reporters really, since they are the ones I'm most familiar with, I'm sure a more detailed trawl through Wikipedia will find other candidates.
