Editing is the process of selecting and preparing written, visual, or audible material to convey a message or information.
There are various editorial positions in publishing. Typically, one finds editorial assistants reporting to the senior-level editorial staff and directors who report to senior executive editors. Senior executive editors are responsible for developing a product for its final release. The smaller the publication, the more these roles overlap.
The top editor at many publications may be known as the chief editor (or Editor-in-chief), executive editor, or simply the editor. It is a publication's editorial leader who has final responsibility for its operations and policies.

| Robert Malone | “Many years ago, when I was working for the "Aereas Global Tuberculosis Vaccine Foundation", which was one of the early Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation nonprofit vaccine companies, the CEO hired a media consulting firm that mainly consisted of a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and a marketing manager. To ensure that favorable stories about the organization and its mission were printed, the "journalist" and the marketing specialist would consult with their clients and learn what story the organization wanted to be told in a major print publication. An article pushing the story would then be crafted, all of the necessary background assembled to meet whatever editorial review standards were likely to be encountered. Then this prebaked work would be fed to some "journalists" working for the targeted publication. My first "You're not in Kansas anymore" moment concerning modern journalism was when I saw this process used to "place" an article in The Economist, which I had naïvely believed operated as an independent arbiter of truth. Even then, I thought, - well, this can't be the norm, can it?” | Robert Malone | 2022 |
