Sam de Brito (30 January 1969 – 12 October 2015) was a Sydney-born author and writer for ''The Sydney Morning Herald'' and ''The Age'' who wrote the blog ''All Men Are Liars''.〔(Sydney Morning Herald, All Men Are Liars. ) Last accessed 24 October 2007〕 ==Family and early life== De Brito was a member of an accomplished Australian media family. His grandfather William Blake was a reporter for ''The Truth'' in Melbourne and Adelaide, and his mother Julie co-founded what became the company Media Monitors in the late 1970s with broadcaster Ian Parry-Okeden.〔(Our Story ), Isentia, accessed 15 September 2015.〕 His maternal uncles Peter Blake, Terry Blake and Patrick Blake are, or were, journalists, as are his cousins Sarah Blake (daughter of Terry) and Emma Blake (daughter of Patrick).〔(Australia's many media dynasties ), ''Crikey'', 21 March 2005.〕 De Brito's father was the South African-born journalist Gus de Brito, who emigrated to Australia in the early 1960s. In South Africa, the elder de Brito had written about the emerging black civil rights movement;〔(The King Is Dead ), Sam de Brito, 'All Men Are Liars', ''Sydney Morning Herald'', 4 September 2006.〕 and in 1972, as a reporter for Sydney tabloid ''The Daily Mirror'', he wrote a major feature article about Aboriginal rights activist Gary Foley. Later, Foley recalled the article "overnight had created instant notoriety … for me", but that he had developed "an unlikely friendship" with the journalist who wrote it.〔(A reflection on the first thirty days of the Embassy ), Gary Foley, in ''The Aboriginal Tent Embassy: Sovereignty, Black Power, Land Rights and the State'', eds Gary Foley, Andrew Sharp and Edwina Howell, Routledge, 2014.〕 His sister is journalist Kate de Brito, who in October 2015 left News Corp, where she had been online news editor, Head of Digital and author of the long-running agony aunt column "Ask Bossy", to edit Mia Freedman's women's interest website, ''Mamamia''.〔(News Corp's Kate de Brito new Mamamia editor ), ''Mumbrella'', 15 September 2015.〕 In 1975, having divorced de Brito's father, his mother married broadcaster Sean Flannery, to whom she remained married until Flannery's death from cancer in 2011.〔(Obituary: Sean Martin Flannery ), Obituaries Australia, National Centre of Biography, Australian National University, accessed 15 September 2015.〕 Gus de Brito died in 1999. De Brito attended Waverley College where he was bullied, and later became a bully himself.〔(Confessions of a Bully ), Sam de Brito, ''Executive Style'', 12 December 2013.〕 "When I was in Years 5 and 6, I copped it savagely for reasons I still don't entirely understand but suspect were linked to me being somewhat bookish, articulate and effeminate..." de Brito wrote. The pattern continued in Years 7 and 8 at my new high school but seemed to settle on my ethnicity – being a wog, 'f * * *ing off back to my own country' etc." 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「Sam de Brito」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
