I’m Jamie Scicluna, but everyone calls me Jay. I’m a journalist, publisher, photographer and proud local — but first and foremost, I’m a parent.
Balancing family life with running a news platform isn’t always easy, but it keeps me grounded. Being a solo parent has shaped the way I see the world: with empathy, honesty and a drive to create something meaningful for both my family and my community.
My professional background spans printed publishing, communications and industrial law, along with a long-standing passion for local politics and social accountability. These experiences led me to create STPL News, a fully independent media outlet covering the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston region.
My work focuses on delivering accurate, balanced and factual local news that matters to the people who live here — from council decisions and community issues to sport, small business and the stories that often go untold.
