For every story that goes to air, there are dozens that never make the cut - perhaps because they cannot be fully checked, the source is unreliable, or because they are replaced by something more urgent. Yet these untold stories are often the most intiguing of all.
Award-winning tV journalist Chris Masters draws on his assignments in Australia and overseas to tell some of the stories he couldn't bring to FOUR CORNERS. Some are chilling, such as an account of his friendship with a gangster; others, including a description of foreign correspondents in Bosnia, are lighter, and all are engaging. Not only does Masters make a wry, perceptive look at some of the murkier corners of Australian society, but he examines - often critically - the practice of investigative reporting itself.
