Patrick Martin (born 10 Mar 1951, Toronto) is a Canadian journalist who since 2008 has been the Jerusalem-based Middle East bureau chief for ''The Globe and Mail,'' a national Canadian newspaper. He was the paper's Middle East correspondent during much of the 1980s, covering the 1982 Lebanon war and other events. ==Career== Martin's first visit to the Mediterranean region occurred in 1971, when he motorcycled across the entirety of North Africa. He returned as the Middle East correspondent for the ''Globe and Mail'' for much of the 1980s and was based in Jerusalem. During that period, he covered the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon, and the return of Yasser Arafat to the Gaza Strip. About 1990 he returned to Canada, where he was Comment editor for ''The Globe and Mail'' until 2008. During this time, Martin also appeared regularly on the foreign-affairs panel on TVOntario's ''Studio 2'' and its successor program ''The Agenda''. He also made frequent reporting trips to Iraq and other conflict zones. In 2008, he returned to the Middle East as the regional bureau chief for the ''Globe and Mail.'' Fellow columnist Margaret Wente revealed in a June 20, 2007 column that Martin had been frequently subjected to interrogations while traveling in the U.S. after the 9/11 attacks of 2001, because the name "Patrick Martin" appeared on the American No Fly List. 〔(), ''Globe and Mail''〕 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「Patrick Martin (journalist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
