Comm Creatives:

What are the perks and benefits of being a sports editor?  

Nigel Chiwaya:


“You get to go to games for free! Think about it: I get paid to write about sports! How awesome is that? But also you’ll get great sports literature, and you’ll meet amazing people and learn a lot.”

Comm Creatives:

Nigel Chiwaya:


“I can’t speak to everyone, but I joined the National Association of Black Journalists last year, and it’s been a great source of info. You get a lot of big contacts and you get the chance to pick the brains of some of the bigger minds in the industry.”
