Founder and Former Journalist

Sue Papadoulis

A number of years ago as a journalist, I did a story that changed the course of my entire career. 

Profile Media was founded by me, Sue Papadoulis after many years of working as a radio and TV journalist, then in corporate communications for government and as a PR executive in the private sector.

My experience as a journalist and News Editor for 10 years in busy newsrooms in Australia and London has given me insider knowledge about how the media works and what a journalist wants.

Why did I leave the profession? The truth is I became disillusioned with the negativity of the news. One story in particular changed everything.  I covered the tragic fatal road accident that claimed the life of a young girl.  After delivering my radio news bulletin, I received a devastating call from the mother of the child. I’ll never forget that moment and the pain I unknowingly inflicted upon this poor woman and her family.  So I left.

When I moved into PR, I felt I didn’t belong there either. The froth and bubbles world of as PR agency just didn’t sit well with me.

I wanted more from life. I wanted to inspire others to step up and play a bigger game. And so I began my own business, employing journalists who are results-driven and have a can-do attitude.  We are emotionally invested and love the ‘thrill of the chase’, just as we did when were journalists looking for the next big story.

And we are doing good for the world.  Our clients have good news stories to tell and we love to share them in our dedicated channel, The Good News Movement.
