Mass Communication

Hi,

1. Newspaper editors have the daily responsibility of deciding which news stories are printed in the paper. Long before the paper is published, the editor assigns reporters to cover the news, checks for accuracy and fairness in the newspaper's articles and writes headlines.
2. It is not unusual for a newspaper editor to have worked as a journalist or proofreader before becoming an editor. 
3. Excellent oral and written communication skills, strong interest in current events, ability to thrive under deadlines, experience with desktop publishing programs
4. The editor-in-chief or principal editor should ensure that the journal's editors and editorial board are identified in the journal masthead; receive the necessary training and oversight to adequately perform editorial functions; and actively perform their responsibilities, such as assigning reviewers or reviewing.
