Dom Tripolone
News Editor

Dom was born and raised in Sydney. One of his earliest memories of cars is sitting in the back seat of his dad's BMW 3 Series coupe, which smelled like sawdust.

He aspired to be a newspaper journalist from a young age and started his career at the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age working in the Drive section before moving over to News Corp to report on all things motoring across the company's newspapers and digital websites, including news.com.au, The Daily Telegraph, Herald Sun, Courier Mail and Adelaide Advertiser, among others.

Dom has embraced the digital revolution and joined CarsGuide as News Editor, where he finds joy in searching out the most interesting and fast-paced news stories on the brands you love. In his spare time Dom can be found being the family Uber driver.
