Hugh Riminton - The Forging of a Foreign Correspondent

Hugh Riminton is one of Australia's most experienced foreign correspondents. Blown up, shot at & first-on-scene at some of the world's most terrifying disasters, Hugh's autobiography 'Minefields - A Life in the News Game', is a richly entertaining & deeply empathetic global adventure. We discuss: the dangers of self-assumed power; being held at gunpoint; bribing his way into Moscow; the joy of Mandela; & an agreement to one last war. WARNING: We also briefly discuss the Aramoana & Port Arthur massacres, which may be difficult for some listeners (timecode: 24:25 - 30:51). Find Hugh on Twitter: @hughriminton
