Patrick Martin (journalist)

Patrick Martin (journalist)

Patrick Martin (born approx. 1951) is a Canadian journalist who is a regular correspondent for "The Globe and Mail". He currently serves as the Comment Editor for the same newspaper.

Martin's first visit to the Middle East occurred in 1971, when he motorcycled across the entirety of North Africa. For much of the 1980s, he was the Middle East correspondent for the Globe and Mail. He covered the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon, and the return of Yasser Arafat to the Gaza Strip.

Martin appeared regularly on the foreign-affairs panel on TVOntario's "Studio 2". He is a regular guest on the successor program, "The Agenda".

Fellow columnist Margaret Wente revealed in a June 20, 2007 column that Martin had been frequently subjected to interrogations while travelling in the U.S. after 9/11, because the name "Patrick Martin" appeared on the American No Fly List.
