Fred Pawle
Fred Pawle is the only journalist in history to go straight from a job interviewing Home Girls at The Picture men’s magazine to a sub-editing gig at the Financial Review.
It is emblematic of his absurdly diverse career, covering fashion, business and sport magazines, newspapers and websites across the nation. In 2007 he was nominated for a Waklley for a story he wrote for STAB surfing magazine about Matt Branson, the first pro surfer to come out as gay.
Fred now edits Executive Lifestyle on theaustralian.com.au
