WATERTOWN — Every summer the Armenian Mirror-Spectator hires an intern. The interns receive a stipend from the Armenian Students’ Association.

This year, the intern is John Gigian.

Gigian is about to start his senior year at UMass Amherst, where he is a journalism and history major.

He is originally from Watertown and currently lives in Weston.

Gigian said that his long-term goal is eventually having a career in sports media covering basketball, football, or other sports as either a broadcaster, analyst or writer.

His first story, an interview — appropriately — with sports journalist Vahe Gregorian appears in this issue.
