Chicago weekly, N'Digo, promotes Zondra Hughes to editor-in-chief post

(May 21, 2006) Chicago-area journalist Zondra Hughes has been named Editor-In-Chief of N’Digo, the largest African-American weekly newspaper in the country.
 
Zondra Hughes will oversee all editorial content of the N’Digo weekly publication and its online site. She will report directly to publisher Hermene Hartman. “Zondra began her journalism career as an N’Digo intern and now she returns with the knowledge, talent and experience to take N’Digo to the next level," said Hartman. "She is a dedicated, visionary, journalist with a profound commitment to urbane Chicago.”
 
“Our staff looks forward to delivering the editorial excellence that N’Digo readers have come to expect,” Hughes said. 
 
Hughes, formerly an associate editor at Ebony magazine, played an integral role in expanding and re-branding its Beauty & Style section. Hughes, 32, received a M.A. in journalism, with honors, from Iowa State University; her background includes marketing and public relations. She has been cited as one of the “30 Under 30 Leaders in Business” by the Chicago Sun-Times and “100 Women Making a Difference" by Today’s Chicago Woman. 
 
Hughes is the protégée of the late Chicago media icon, journalist Vernon Jarrett, a founding member of the National Association of Black Journalists. She cites Chicago journalist/author David Smallwood, formerly the editor-in-chief of N’Digo, as her mentor.
