Mr. Tyler

Mr. Tyler was the editor of the Hotten Courier. Following the death of Beckindale journalist Percy Edgar in 1977, Amos was given the job. Amos ran into controversy with an article he wrote in February 1978 about Grant Edwards' mink farm. Grant decided to sue the paper for damages, and Amos was fired. However, Grant was revealed to be a conman and after confronting him, Grant dropped the charges against the courier, and Amos was reinstated with the help of Glenda Thompson.

In May 1981, Mr. Tyler decided to cut back of the amount of staff working for the courier, with Amos being replaced by Frank Hencoller. Amos was so furious, he ended up setting up his own rival newspaper, the Beckindale Bugle. With Frank failing to live up to the company's expectations, Frank's collapse in The Black Bull was the final nail in the coffin and Amos replaced Frank.
