Nigel Chiwaya, current sports editor and former design director of the Queens Ledger/Brooklyn Star Newspaper Group

Career Q & A Interview: Part 1 of 5-The Transition to Sports Editor 

Comm Creatives:

How are your duties different now as a sports editor than when you were design director?

Nigel Chiwaya:

“It’s different because you’re actually out there covering stories and talking to people. With design, you’re very much in the office and when your hours are done, you can go home. With sports, stories break, stories change at any moment, so you kind of have to keep your antenna up at all times. The A-Rod steroid story was a great example. That broke on a Saturday morning. Also, I’m constantly looking for freelance writers and interns, which is something I didn’t do as design director.”
