PERSONNEL / THE EDITOR'S DESK

The Editor's
Desk.

Daniel Byron — Editor, Writer & Occasional Nuisance.

I write words — and tell stories across social, editorial, campaigns and everything in between. I'm a Dundee-born, Glasgow-based journalist and communications professional, currently working with the communications team at New College Lanarkshire. My background spans reporting, sub-editing, broadcast and digital campaigns. Probably thinking about my next headline.
