Martin O'Malley (journalist)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Martin O'Malley (born 1939) is a Canadian journalist. He currently writes for CBC News and The Globe and Mail, and is perhaps best known for coining the line about homosexuality that Pierre Trudeau later made famous: "The state has no business in the bedrooms of the nation".

He has written the following books:

The Past and Future Land: an account of the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline Inquiry
Doctors
Hospital
Gross Misconduct: The life of Spinner Spencer
Running Risks
Game Day: the Blue Jays at SkyDome
More than Meets the Eye: Watching television watching us

[edit] Film version of book

Gross Misconduct earned him the Author of the Year award in 1989 from the Foundation for the Advancement of Canadian Letters. Gross Misconduct was made into a motion picture, directed by Atom Egoyan. O'Malley also wrote the CBC docudrama Giant Mine.
