Jim Malo is fresh on the journalism scene, with just a couple of years of full time work under his belt. He got his start working with 7 News in Hervey Bay where he covered a 12-hour long police chase, a torrid local government election marred by allegations of affairs and a heart-breaking triple shooting.
After 18 months of penance, Jim has returned to his home city of Brisbane (if you consider Caboolture a part of Brisbane. Most don't; he does).
Jim's passion for the media industry was sparked by work experience with 101.5 4OUR FM in Caboolture; where he scored a Saturday morning show at the age of 14, which he regrettably named The Music Blender.
At university Jim took up reviewing music for student-run websites which fell apart to various degrees because they were run by students. In a way, he's pleased because you can no longer read his gushing reviews of dance music and below-average indie rock. One website has relaunched but he won't say which, just in case.
Jim's loves in life include politics, rap music and arguing about whether or not Caboolture should be considered a part of Brisbane.
