Every Second Counts is a fascinating, fast-paced memoir by award-winning NZ journalist Charlotte Glennie, who survived life-changing injuries after a near-fatal accident. She went on to break new ground reporting across Asia during major world events, including military and political crackdowns and natural disasters. Set in New Zealand, Australia, Asia and Europe, this is the adrenaline-fuelled life of a journalist during the heyday of television news, doing whatever it took to uncover the facts.¿From being the first New Zealand correspondent to report from North Korea, telling stories from far-flung places in Mongolia and Russia, reporting live in the aftermath of the Indian Ocean tsunami which killed over 230,000 people, to battling monsoon rains in the world's largest refugee camp in southern Bangladesh, Charlotte writes about people living in extreme circumstances, and what it is like to be there alongside them. Charlotte tells the stories that linger long after they've left the news cycle, the toll of the lifestyle, the budget cuts, the layoffs, reinvention, and the crisis facing journalism today. Every Second Counts is also a universal story chronicling the dramatic moments in our lives that change us forever, and the courage people so often display when coping with crisis.
