Different kinds of editing

Editors usually focus on one type of medium. The most common areas include:

• Book editing: Project managing the entire journey of the book and getting it published.
• Newspaper editing. Editors edit text and ensure it matches the paper's voice, style, tone, and ethical standards.
• Magazine editing. Editors bring an article from the idea phase through publication. They work with copy editors, fact-checkers, top editors, designers, illustrators, photographers and lawyers.
• Online media and content editing.
• Communications editing. Many organisations put out written internal and external communications.
