Mark Kelley Education Concordia University Occupation Journalist, TV presenter Nationality Canadian Mark Kelley is a Canadian journalist. Formerly a correspondent and substitute anchor for The National and a host of CBC News: Morning, he is currently the host of Connect with Mark Kelley on CBC News Network.[1] A graduate of Concordia University in Montreal, the fluently bilingual Kelley began reporting from within Quebec in the 1980s before joining CBC in 1990. From 2002-2004, he was co-host of the investigative journalism show called CBC News: Disclosure with Diana Swain.
Recently, Kelley has moved away from being a regular reporter to focusing on documentaries and investigative journalism, making a series of ongoing stories on The National. His focus is often on issues of prejudice or controversy. Among his recent projects of this type were reports on the aftermath of the 2004 Tsunami and a series of reports from the Netherlands where he tried to get an insight into the growing anti-Muslim feelings there. He also made a series of reports where he sought to break down Canadian national stereotypes by accompanying Canadians with prejudices about certain people or provinces to visit them. In November 2006, he began a series called "7" where he would spend 7 days in someone else's shoes, such as a teacher at British Columbia's most troubled high school.
Kelley has won three Geminis for his work for CBC News: Disclosure and CBC News: The National.
