Malcolm Muggeridge (March 24, 1903 - November 14, 1990) was a famous British journalist, author and media personality.
He was brought up by a socialist father who was also a councilor for Croydon and later a Member of Parliament.
Malcolm attended Cambridge University, graduating in 1924 and went to India to teach. While still a student he had taught for brief periods in 1920, 1922 and 1924 at the John Ruskin Central School, Croydon, where his father was Chairman of the Governors.
Returning to England in 1927, he married Katherine Dobbs and worked as a supply teacher, before moving to teach in Egypt six months later. Here he also worked as a journalist for the first time.
After working on various papers including the Calcutta Statesman, Manchester Guardian, Evening Standard, and Daily Telegraph, he became a popular BBC correspondent.
Muggeridge was also the "discoverer" of Mother Teresa, who he first met in London in 1968. He told the world about her deeds through a book called Something Beautiful for God. He is well-known for his wit and profound writings ("Never forget that only dead fish swim with the stream"). He has written a two volume autobiography called Chronicles of Wasted Time.
