BILLIE SCHWAB DUNN
Pop Culture & Entertainment Reporter
I'm Billie, an Aussie journalist living in London, currently working as the Trending Lifestyle Editor at Yahoo UK.
My work spans print and digital, with bylines across international publications including Newsweek, Cosmopolitan, POPSUGAR, Metro.co.uk, Business Insider and Stylist. I have also shared my insight on BBC Radio.
At the heart of my work is a curiosity about people — whether that’s through pop culture, entertainment, politics, women’s rights or the spaces where they overlap.
I’ve reported on the experiences of women who have been stalked and sex trafficked, investigated alleged abuse at Nickelodeon, and examined the cultural impact of shows and celebrities. Along the way, I’ve interviewed the likes of Katherine Ryan, Ben Stiller, Jude Law and Brenda Song.
A little bit more about me…
After studying Media (Communications & Journalism) at the University of New South Wales, I joined the Astray writing internship in Bali. Days were spent being given intensive writing tutelage focused on travel and digital media, as well as cross-cultural language training.
Once back home, I scored a job at Daily Mail Australia where I cut my teeth as a lifestyle reporter for Femail. Here my articles went viral internationally and I was featured as a presenter in their Only in Australia video series on Facebook.
After trading Sydney’s beaches for the hustle and bustle of London in 2019, I started working for various media publications, including the ones mentioned above.
I dress how I live (as colourfully as possible), enjoy extra dirty vodka martinis (no vermouth, please) and love to spend my weekends dancing the night away.
Oh, and ever so often, I post to my newsletter, Billie’s Baby.
