For news-loving Southern Nevadans, the name Andrew Kiraly is synonymous with “local voice.” The born-and-raised Las Vegan has been a prominent writer and editor here for more than three decades.
Kiraly’s career began in 1992 at the early alt-weekly, Las Vegas New Times. He also worked for the Las Vegas Mercury and Las Vegas CityLife before becoming editor of our own Desert Companion magazine in 2010. He later created the events newsletter The List.
Kiraly left Nevada Public Radio in 2022, and now he’s leaving Las Vegas altogether. Desert Companion editor-at-large Scott Dickensheets talked to Kiraly about his time in the local news business, and where he predicts that business is headed.
