Prior to 1980, he had been with La Prensa, a well known Conservative publication. After the murder of his brother and newspaper journalist Pedro Joaquín in 1978, Xavier took over as editor of the paper. In 1980, he left La Prensa, taking eighty percent of the staff with him. Together, they founded El Nuevo Diario, with Xavier as director and editor. The newspaper has flourished, and provides a political view which is significantly different from that of La Prensa.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“Each of the professions means a prejudice. The necessity for a career forces every one to take sides. We live in the age of the overworked, and the under-educated; the age in which people are so industrious that they become absolutely stupid.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“My ambition in life: to become successful enough to resume my career as a neurasthenic.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Whether lawyer, politician or executive, the American who knows what’s good for his career seeks an institutional rather than an individual identity. He becomes the man from NBC or IBM. The institutional imprint furnishes him with pension, meaning, proofs of existence. A man without a company name is a man without a country.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
