About Mia

Mia Freedman  – Publisher
Mia is the editor and publisher of Mamamia.com.au, the website she founded in 2007 when she left traditional media and didn’t quite know what else to do next. Having built her career around creating communities of women in magazines (as Editor of Cosmo and then Editor in Chief of Cosmo, Cleo & Dolly) and then a blink-and-you-missed-it stint in commercial TV, Mia wanted to work in a medium that was fast and authentic. So she moved to online and began Mamamia.

She continues to write a newspaper column that appears in News Limited Sunday newspapers – The Sunday Telegraph in NSW, the Sunday Herald Sun in Victoria, The Sunday Mail in Queensland, the Sunday Mail in South Australia and The Sunday Times in Western Australia. She also appears on The Today Show every Wednesday morning. Mia has written three books, The New Black, Mamamia: A Memoir Of Mistakes, Magazines & Motherhood and Mia Culpa: Confessions From The Watercooler of Life.

Mia’s husband Jason is the CEO of Mamamia (the marriage came before the business) and they have three children, a dog and two ducks who visit during winter.
