For some positions, strong writing skills from reporting or writing, may be enough.The first time you receive your copyedited manuscript, it can be intimidating. Employers generally prefer a bachelor’s degree in communications, journalism, or English, along with media experience. Coordinating multiple projects under high-pressure deadlines can be challenging, and may require work weeks longer than 40 hours. Most editors work full-time schedules in offices, though working from home is increasingly common. Managing editors work for magazines, newspapers and television broadcasters, and oversee daily operations for the news department. Executive editors typically have the final say about what is published, and oversee hiring. Assistant editors are responsible for a particular subject such as local news or sports. Those employed by small newspapers often answer phones, and proofread articles. Publication assistants at book-publishing houses evaluate manuscripts and proofread drafts. They may confirm sources or verify facts, and arrange page layouts. There are several types of editors: Copy editors proofread text for errors and check for readability, style, and ensure it meets the publication’s policies. In smaller organizations, a single editor may perform all of the editorial duties or share them with only a few other people. They review story ideas and decide what material will appeal most to readers, and comment on how to improve it. Editors plan and revise content for publication in books, newspapers, magazines, or websites. A combination of creativity, writing skills and detail orientation help editors sharpen the quality of writing for all different types of media.
