editor

His long career in journalism began in newspapers, at the News Letter in the late 1970s and then as sports editor of the now-defunct Sunday News in the mid-1980s.

Besides directing, producing and designing most of the main characters, he co-wrote the screenplay and is the cinematographer, editor and composer, among other roles.

He attended Erasmus Hall High School, where he was the editor of the school newspaper, and majored in political science at New York University.

He said the officer had told the editor he wasn't allowed to publish anything.

The former newspaper editor said that he "could not make the necessary personal commitment" to leading a reorganisation of the party after their disappointing election performance.
