James Dunn

James Dunn is a freelance finance journalist and media consultant. He writes for The Australian, Mortgage & Finance Brief, Investor Weekly and IFA magazines as well as the global credit magazine Creditflux, and is a regular finance commentator on Australian radio and television. 

James was founding editor of Shares magazine, and oversaw one of the most successful magazine launches in Australia. He has also written for BRW, Personal Investor, The Age and Management Today, and was subsequently personal investment editor at The Australian and editor of financial website, investorweb.com.au. His first book, Share Investing for Dummies, was published by John Wiley & Co. in September 2002: a second edition was published in March 2007, and a mini-version, Getting Started in Shares for Dummies, followed in March 2008.

James gives a daily finance report on Radio 3AW in Melbourne and is a weekly commentator on Sky Business, and has appeared on The Panel, Four Corners and Today Tonight. 

In 1984, James won two BMWs on Sale of the Century. Selling the cars financed a year of overseas travel and also a share portfolio – which did not survive the 1987 crash, the event that inspired James to become a finance journalist.
