Career Q & A Interview: Part 5 of 5-The Changing Landscape of Newspaper  Journalism and Its Effect on Sports Writing 

Comm Creatives:

How do you feel that the collapse of the newspaper industry will effect sports writers/editors? Has it effected you yet? If so how? What do you predict for the newspaper industry as a whole as papers continue to shutdown? Do you think traditional papers will cease to exist?

Nigel Chiwaya:

“I don’t think the newspaper industry is doomed. I think we’ve got to got to find a way to make ourselves the central information hub for people’s lives again and we’ve got to find a way to make money from the internet. But actually, while the larger newspapers are folding, a lot of smaller community papers are surviving and thriving. As far as sports writers, I think people will always look for perspective about their teams, so while I think that the industry will change, it’s not going away.”
