Journeys and Encounters.
The '60 Minutes' television program has some of the finest journalists, camera teams and editors in Australian broadcasting, and is a masterpiece of journalism every Sunday evening. Over the years it has been presented by some of Australia's most respected journalists: Jana Wendt, George Negus, Jennifer Byrne and Jeff McMullen.
The longest serving presenter on the show, Jeff left '60 Minutes' last year after sixteen years in a job that took him to the ends of the earth. 'A Life Of Extremes' spans Jeff's years as a reporter as he takes us on a fascinating global journey. At turns compelling memoir and gripping travelogue, the book is suffused with the sort of compassion, empathy and humanity that only a journalist of McMullen's experience, commitment and calibre can provide.
