Veteran award-winning journalist Sean Mallen rejoined the Global National family in April 2011, this time as its Europe Bureau Chief based in London.
His first tenure at Global National started in 2001, when he was a senior correspondent. During this time, Sean reported on major international stories, such as the 2004 Olympics in Athens and environmental disasters in the Arctic.
In 2005, Sean moved to the Ontario political beat, becoming Global Toronto’s Queen’s Park Correspondent and the host of the award-winning political affairs program, Focus Ontario.
Prior to Global National‘s launch in 2001, Sean spent years covering major news stories for the entire Global Television Network. He was based in Toronto, but his job took him across Canada and around the world, covering election campaigns, the ruins of Kosovo, giving him a grandstand seat at many fascinating events.
Sean has been honoured with an international award at the New York Festivals as Best Correspondent for his reporting in Kosovo and on the Walkerton, Ontario E. coli water disaster.

The Radio-Television News Directors Association of Canada (RTNDA) has also bestowed him with the National News Directors of Canada Award for his coverage of the 1995 Quebec Referendum.
As a documentary writer-director, Sean scripted Leap of Faith: The Dance of Mikhail Baryshnikov, an award-winning account of the 1974 defection of the celebrated dancer; and more recently, No Country for Young Men, a look at the lost tradition of officer training at Canada’s universities.
