A news editor curates and reviews content by other journalists to be published online, in newspapers or other forms of print media. Their job duties including editing, proofreading, reaching out to journalists for stories, organizing a team of writers and possibly creating their own original content. News editing includes close analysis of articles and videos for grammatical errors, factual errors and general content. News editors also make decisions regarding what stories will be pursued and how stories will be presented. You may be required to oversee a team of writers who report directly to you with their work. In some cases, you may be required to write news pieces yourself.
Like news editors, broadcast news analysts need to have a strong familiarity with news stories and be able to communicate that information effectively. If you have a talent for editing, you may want to look into working for a publishing house. Book editors read and select manuscripts for publication, ensuring that there are no grammatical or factual areas and streamlining the content. These positions are available for those in possession of a bachelor’s degree in English or a related field.
