Pamela Martin was born in 1953 in Detroit, Michigan, USA. She later immigrated to British Columbia, Canada, where she established her career in broadcast journalism. Martin completed both her bachelor's and master's degrees at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas.
After moving to British Columbia, Martin began her broadcasting career with CHEK-TV in Victoria, where she worked as a producer and co-anchor in 1975. She soon gained recognition for being one of the first female reporters in the region. Subsequently, she moved to CKNW AM 980 in Vancouver, further establishing her career in radio journalism.
In 1977, she joined BCTV in Vancouver and served as a news anchor until 2001. Martin later co-anchored the weekday 6:00 p.m. newscasts for CTV British Columbia alongside Bill Good until her retirement from broadcasting in December 2010. Their departure from CTV News was formally announced on December 7, with their final newscast airing on December 29, 2010. The pair had been key figures on British Columbia television for over a decade, earning national awards and acclaim.
Following her journalism career, Pamela Martin transitioned into politics. On January 5, 2011, she announced her involvement with Christy Clark’s campaign for the British Columbia Liberal Party leadership. After Clark became Premier in March 2011, Martin took on a communications role in the Premier’s Office. In 2013, she left her $130,000-a-year government position to become the Director of Engagement for the BC Liberal Party, helping to campaign for the 2014 provincial election. Martin defended her transition from journalism to politics, stating it aligned with her dedication to public service and communication.
In addition to her accomplishments in broadcast journalism, Pamela Martin is also an accomplished American film and television editor. With over fifteen feature film credits beginning in 1994, she has received major industry recognition. She was nominated for an American Cinema Editors "Eddie" Award for her work on the film Little Miss Sunshine (2006), directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris.
Martin earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Film Editing as well as another “Eddie” nomination for her contributions to the film The Fighter (2010), directed by David O. Russell. She has also served on the Dramatic Jury at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival and is a member of the American Cinema Editors.
In 2000, Pamela Martin was named Woman of the Year by the Consumers Choice Awards. She later received a Leo Award in 2003, awarded by viewers as their favorite on-air news personality. In 2008, Martin was honored with the National RTNDA Award for Best Feature Story for her report “Kelli’s Red Devils,” which highlighted breast cancer awareness. She has also been involved with the Coast Mental Health Foundation since 1999 through their "Courage to Come Back" awards program.
It should be noted that the claim that she won the Miss Teen USA title in 1968 is inaccurate; no official records support this assertion, and it appears to be a case of mistaken identity.

She is currently married to John Haibeck, with whom she has two children. One of her sons is named Nicolas Allen. She continues to reside in the Vancouver area with her family.
