The following excerpt note was sent to staff by NPR VP and executive editor Edith Chapin:
I am pleased to announce that Nick Charles will be NPR’s new Chief Culture Editor. Nick has had a varied career across many aspects of journalism from foreign correspondent covering Operation Restore Hope in Somalia to beat writer on popular culture and the arts at the Daily News to Staff writer at People. He also was Editor-in-Chief at AOL Black Voices and then VP Digital Content at BET.com. He most recently has been the Managing Director at Word in Black, a collaborative of 10 Black owned media. He is co-author of the forthcoming book Say Their Names: How Black Lives Came to Matter in America and the Editor and Spokesman of the Save Journalism Project.
Nick will be based in New York, but as soon as we are back in the office, he will spend weeks in the DC newsroom to get the lay of the land and will be a regular presence in Washington and at NPR West going forward. He will start October 25. Please join me in giving him a warm NPR welcome.
