Journalism Editor

As a journalism editor, you shape the news before it reaches the public. You decide which stories get covered, guide reporters as they develop them, and review their work for accuracy, clarity, fairness, and style. You catch errors, sharpen writing, and make sure everything meets the publication's standards and deadlines. You also help set the editorial direction, deciding what matters and how it should be told. Your days involve reading and revising stories, planning coverage, meeting with reporters and other editors, and making fast judgment calls, often under the pressure of a deadline.
