Although best known as a courageous editor of the Age throughout the 1980s, Burns, in fact, pursued three careers; academic, foreign correspondent and newspaper editor. In each of them he distinguished himself. He also wrote two books on political topics and was the 1949 Rhodes Scholar for Victoria.
