Before AI, before social media, before the dot-com boom…there was Shawn Tully. Nearly 50 years later, there's still Shawn Tully — Fortune's Senior Editor-at-Large, still cranking out thought-provoking stories about the world's most powerful business leaders. On this episode of Press Profiles, Shawn reflects on five decades of reporting, from covering European business in Paris to flying on Donald Trump's private plane, to spending hours inside CEOs' offices chasing the perfect anecdote. He shares why storytelling matters as much as spreadsheets, how trust is built over decades, and why the best business journalism reads like narrative — not news copy. Along the way, we hear about tennis with Bobby Riggs, inventing the term "HENRYs," and what motivates him to "keep cranking" after all these years.

Forbes reporter Hank Tucker hasn't been in the business long, but he has started to make an impact. His profiles on some of the most successful leaders in business coupled with popular articles about interesting investment has made him a compelling read. And he's only getting started. On this episode of Press Profiles, Tucker explains how he broke into the business, what he learned from talented colleagues like Nathan Vardi, Antoine Gara, and Maneet Ahuja, and how he gets his subjects to reveal interesting things about themselves. We also touch on the growing overlap between finance and sports, life outside the newsroom (think lots of burgers and the Boston Red Sox), how being a middle child has shaped his approach, and why being a good teammate matters as much to him as any byline.

For most kids, "career day" is nothing more than a welcome refuge from a typical day at school. For Telis Demos, it was the spark that launched his now decades-long career as a financial journalist. On this episode of Press Profiles, we talk to the "Heard on the Street" columnist and podcast host about the career day presentation from a Wall Street banker that ignited his curiosity in the financial markets. We get into his early career in magazines (and why newspapers won him over) and how getting "into the weeds" helps him uncover stories that others might miss. We also discuss the 2008 credit bubble, the rise of high-frequency trading, and the craft of writing a memorable intro. Telis also tells us about what PR professionals get right (and wrong), why he thinks it's important to ask someone what they actually do at work all day, and why aspiring young journalists should find their voice and follow their instincts.
