One Plus One host Jane Hutcheon reflects on 25 years at ABC News and the art of conversation
When I was a kid growing up in Hong Kong, my dad, Robin Hutcheon, used to take my brothers and me into the bowels of the roaring printing press where he was editor-in-chief of the South China Morning Post.
I remember well the heat and diesel aroma of fresh newsprint and I loved grabbing a handful of red mark-up pencils and unlimited scribbling paper, the offcuts of yesterday's news.
As I prepare to leave the ABC this week after twenty-five years, I'm reminded of my constant companion on this journalistic journey: news technology.
Ever since appearing as part of the crowd on a children's show where I was stunned to learn that you couldn't see the audience on the other side of the camera, I have adored television with all its power, tricks and impact. It has never lost its allure.
In the early years of my career in s Hong Kong, I worked on a weekly TV current affairs show where we shot our stories on film.
Venturing out on reporting assignments, I had a three-person crew: cameraman, assistant cameraman (who loaded the film into the magazine) and sound-recordist, who captured sound on a barely portable reel-to-reel tape recorder.

&#;From Rice to Riches&#; by Jane Hutcheon

It&#;s odd how companionable one comes to feel with an ABC foreign correspondent who has been chatting to you from the television over many years. &#;Jane Hutcheon, ABC, Beijing&#; sounds very familiar, as does &#;Barbara Miller, ABC, London&#; or &#;Martin Cuddihy, ABC, Nairobi&#; (and will I ever forgive my son for not introducing me to him when he was right there? Probably not.) I can remember feeling quite upset for Eric Campbell, seeing him so visibly distraught after the death of his camera man in Iraq in
Jane Hutcheon, with her cheeky smile, and respectful curiosity (on full display at the moment in her current program One Plus One) has long been one of my favourite foreign correspondents. I&#;ve been aware that this book was available some years ago, and I&#;m surprised (and rather disconcerted) to find that it was published thirteen years ago!
