Colin Brazier (born 28 March 1968) is a journalist with the Sky News channel. His industry awards include a gold medal from the New York TV awards, for his reporting from Afghanistan. The first British journalist to enter Iraq with coalition troops during the 2003 invasion, Brazier’s documentary, Brothers in Baghdad, was later shortlisted at the Monte Carlo television festival. He was the first journalist to enter Southern Lebanon with Israeli forces in 2006. In the 2014 Royal Television Society Awards he was Sky’s nominee in the presenter of the year category. He has interviewed many senior statesmen and women. In Libya, he conducted one of the final interviews given by the dictator Colonel Gadaffi. A former newspaper reporter and foreign correspondent, Brazier has written extensively about family life. In 2013 his book Sticking Up For Siblings, based on his experiences as a father of six young children, won positive reviews in publications ranging from ''The Daily Telegraph'' to ''The Guardian''. The book, which encourages parents to reconsider the merits of larger families, was debated on the BBC Today programme, Radio 5 Live, ITV Daybreak and BBC Breakfast. At university Brazier took a first in English literature, but rather than taking a commission as an infantry officer with the Green Howards regiment, he became, instead, a journalist at the ''Yorkshire Post''. He latterly worked at ''The Observer'', before moving to the BBC, then ITV, joining Sky in 1997. There his beats have included politics, the royals and several foreign postings. An enthusiastic sportsman, Brazier is a member of the Lord's Taverners, a charity which aims to improve the fortunes of underprivileged young cricketers. He has made several appearances as a newsreader in movies, including the ''Bourne Legacy'' in 2012. His wife, Joanna Roughton, is a former head of TV for Reuters in the Far East. In July 2014, following the destruction of Malaysia Airways flight MH17 over Ukraine, Brazier was filmed tampering with the contents of a victim's luggage. Widespread media criticism and calls for Brazier's resignation ensued. As of 21 July 110 complaints about Brazier's behaviour had been submitted to Ofcom.〔http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-28405047〕 In an article published in the ''Guardian'' on 22 July 2014, Brazier apologised, admitted that his actions were "a serious error of judgment", and explained the context of his mistake.〔http://www.theguardian.com/media/2014/jul/22/mh17-sky-news-reporter-colin-brazier-crash-victims-luggage〕 ==References== * (2001-2009.state.gov ) * (Gaddafi demands nuclear-free Israel ) * (Mayfield Ryan Thesis Final ) * (www.theguardian.com ) * (www.bbc.co.uk ) * (www.guardianbookshop.co.uk ) * (Cost of children puts off parents ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Colin Brazier」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
