The sports editors
Q Can you please explain how the sport-specific editor jobs differ from your job?
@ TJSIMPLOT
A They do a bunch of hard work that makes me look good when I take all the credit for it. You probably wanted more details than that, though.
We have production editors, day and night, and five “team leaders” who oversee reporters for various sports. Those five editors — Naila-Jean Meyers (NFL, Olympics), Chris Miller (NHL, MLB, golf), Michael Rand (NBA, WNBA), Joe Christensen (NCAA, Puck Drop) and Paul Klauda (preps, MLS) — work with their reporters every day to learn about what they’re hearing, work through story ideas and assignments, discuss what’s buzzing on their various beats and teams, and more.
