Andrew Dixon


Content Editor

Starting at the bottom as a trainee with The Inverness Courier in summer 2006, it's been quite the journey to content editor now. Throughout stints covering community news, politics, court, sport, entertainment and business, I never lost my passion, enthusiasm and energy for what we do - and that's inform and entertain while holding power to account. We also have a campaigning edge where we can use our variety of platforms to make a positive difference - whether that is by keeping people informed so they can make good decisions or pressuring decision-makers to improve things for our communities. We're keen for our work to be engaging so if you have any feedback or ideas, feel free to contact me
