Sub editor

Press sub-editors are journalists who work for:

national daily or weekly newspapers;
local and regional newspapers;
magazines.
They are responsible for ensuring that the tone, style and layout of final copy matches the publication's house style and suits the target market.

The work involves processing all the copy before it is published to ensure that it is accurate, makes sense and reads well. Sub-editors also lay out the story on the page and may be involved with overall page design.

Like other journalism roles, sub-editing is demanding and requires constant attention to detail within a fast-paced working environment.
