Aaron C. Waugh is the Editor-in-Chief of Discontent, a publication that walks the fine line between broadsheet integrity and tabloid bite. With over three decades in journalism, Aaron has honed his skills at The Scotsman, The Independent, and VICE UK, bringing a rare mix of investigative grit and cultural awareness to the newsroom. His academic background in design and digital media means he understands not only the content but also the way in which stories are consumed in a fast-paced, visual-driven news cycle. He has cultivated a newsroom ethos that values truth, depth, and editorial courage, encouraging his diverse team to challenge orthodoxy without slipping into partisanship. Aaron's editorial philosophy prioritises transparency, rigorous fact-checking, and a refusal to let clickbait dictate coverage priorities. He is known for meticulous edits, guiding young reporters while earning the trust of seasoned journalists who appreciate his balance of freedom and discipline. Though he rarely writes under his own byline, his influence is evident in every headline and every carefully structured narrative the publication releases. Outside of work, Aaron is a keen hillwalker, a lover of Scotland's indie music scene, and an advocate for media literacy. His calm, measured demeanour conceals a razor-sharp instinct for spotting a story's real angle, and his leadership has earned Discontent a reputation for being one of the most fearless and intellectually honest outlets in the country.
