Prue Mac Sween
Having worked at a suburban newspaper in Sydney as a cadet, Prue then started her television career at TNQ 7 Townsville, where she was initially employed as a television hostess and the “face” of the network. Prue was spotted by Channel Nine Sydney Executive News Director, Gerald Stone and was offered a job as a reporter for Nine’s Sydney news. She was then asked to join Nine’s Melbourne daytime current affairs show, No Man’s Land, where she was one of the all-female reporting team.

Prue is a regular on Channel Seven’s Weekend Sunrise and Sky News and also appears on Channel Nine’s A Current Affair, Channel Ten News Soapbox.  Prue was also an outspoken regular panellist on Beauty And The Beast on FOXTEL and Channel 10. Her biography on famous Kings Cross icon Carlotta, called “I’m Not That Kind Of Girl”, published by Pan MacMillan in 2003 was a best seller and went into its fifth reprint. Once a confirmed bachelorette, Prue is now the proud step-mother of the three children of her partner.  She juggles her career with being a Mum and finds both very challenging and rewarding!
