Investigative reporter Ross Coulthart rejoins Nine from Seven for 60 Minutes role
Coulthart
Veteran investigative reporter Ross Coulthart has penned a contract to join the Nine Network, six months after quitting rival Seven after a newsroom fight.
The five-time Walkley Award winning journalist left Seven last November following an altercation between then Sunday Night executive producer Mark Llewelyn and producer Paul Waterhouse.
This morning Nine confirmed Coulthart was rejoining its flagship Sunday evening show 60 Minutes with Coulthart saying in a statement: “I’m delighted to be returning to Channel Nine, the place where I got my first start in TV. It feels like coming home in a way.
He did leave after the date of the altercation which he helped break up, but is there any suggestion that was related to him leaving?
He is a sensationalistic journalist. He will no doubt be employed on a story by story basis.
Time we had some fresh talent. Just my thoughts……
