How much does a magazine editor make?

Question

Also, do magazine editors have personal assistants?

Answer 1

Of course, it depends on the magazine. Editors at Glamour or Vogue Magazine make over $100,000. And yes they have assistants. At smaller mid-size magazines with a circulation of about 250,000, some editors with five years experience make about $50,000. Then you have the trade magazines. The better known trade publications like Crain's Business News make over $75,000 a year. Yet it depends on the magazine and the size of the circulation. Of course, you start out as a copy editor before moving up to a high level editing position. The most magazine jobs are in New York City, Manhattan.
