Joe is assistant editor of the Press and Journal and Evening Express and particularly enjoys his responsibility for fostering and maintaining good relations with readers. He cut his teeth as a news journalist on a busy weekly newspaper in London before starting a two-decade spell reporting on politics, first in town halls and then for 16 years with the Press Association at Westminster, latterly as chief political correspondent. A keen hiker despite being registered blind, he moved to the north-east in 2016 to join Aberdeen Journals and has taken full advantage of having the coast and the Cairngorms on his doorstep. He's not as funny as he thinks he is, so bear with him...
