It has today been announced that one of the ABC’s most experienced radio and television current affairs journalists, Tony Jones, will be immortalised in a rushed and poorly articulated official biography.
Over the years, the award-winning journalist reported for Four Corners and Foreign Correspondent, and is the current host of Q&A and Lateline on Wednesday and Thursday nights. His biography is to be titled “Unfortunately, we are out of time” – paying homage to his strict and unorthodox techniques as an overbearing panel host.
The book is made up of chapter-by-chapter contributions from close friends: Clive Palmer, Penny Wong, rapper 360 and comedian Josh Thomas. It briefly outlines his achievements in the world of journalism, without saying too much.
