| Summary |
They're the stories behind the stories we brought you in 2010. How and why did one correspondent end up in a reality TV series? How do you encourage a super suspicious whistle-blower out of the shadows and which of our intrepid correspondents wept when they saw their program? There's a hell of a lot that goes into the making of Foreign Correspondent that you don't see. Here's your chance.What pitches you on a path to Foreign Correspondent?South Asia correspondent Sally Sara charts it all the way back to walks as a toddler with her grandfather when she'd insist they should check the contents of all the letterboxes of her neighbourhood. Nosey kid or correspondent in the making? Host Mark Corcoran charts his career path back to a school hall shrine to a famous old boy - intrepid and groundbreaking news cameraman Damien Parer. Eric Campbell puts it down to an insatiable yearning to go somewhere new and unknown, while North Asia correspondent Mark Willacy embarked on his journey the moment he realised he would make a lousy engineer.All very different professional epiphanies but there is one thing that they all share and that defines all the contributors to Foreign Correspondent: a passion for story-telling.Take a look back through this year's archive section of our site and you'll see an incredible output of exceptional reporting from an array of extraordinarily beautiful, intriguing, vexed and dangerous places. Big, difficult stories told fearlessly, injustices and iniquities exposed, crises examined. There's an epic cast of characters and a epic cavalcade of images - some chilling and confronting, many others breathtakingly beautiful and inspiring.So here's a snapshot of some of the many astonishing moments that went to make up Foreign Correspondent's 2010, on the road and behind the scenes along with candid thoughts and impressions of the reporters who took you there.It's our thanks for watching |
