Line 46: Hughes then accepted an offer from [[Brigham Young University]] (BYU) to begin the International Media Study Program. In 1995, [[Boutros Boutros Ghali]], the [[Secretary General of the United Nations]], requested for Hughes to meet with him. During the meeting, Ghali asked if Hughes would be willing to do some work for the United Nations during the 50th Anniversary of the United Nations. BYU granted Hughes a year leave of absence, and he became an [[Assistant Secretary General]] and Director of Communications at the United Nations.<ref>{{Cite web \|url=http://www.inkhughes.com/pages/johnhughes.html \|title=R.

Maxwell]] called Hughes with concerns about the ''[[Deseret News]]'', a secular newspaper owned by [[~~The~~the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]]. Maxwell solicited his advice on improving the paper's circulation. When Hughes returned from the [[United Nations]] he began work as a consultant for the ''Deseret News''. Following his counsel, the paper switched its distribution to morning rather than afternoon, which improved circulation. Following the success of this change, the board of directors asked Hughes to be the editor of the newspaper. Hughes accepted the position, and became the first non-[[Mormon]] editor of the ''Deseret News''. He filled that position for 10 years, until 2007,<ref name="benson"/> at which point he returned to BYU as a Professor in the Communications Department. ===Later years===
