Majors for magazine editors?
Most jobs in this occupation require a college degree in communications, journalism, or English

Skills needed?
Writers and editors must be able to express ideas clearly and logically and should love to write. Creativity, curiosity, a broad range of knowledge, self-motivation, and perseverance also are valuable. Writers and editors must demonstrate good judgment and a strong sense of ethics in deciding what material to publish. Editors also need tact and the ability to guide and encourage others in their work.

FYI: Many magazines, newspapers, and broadcast stations have internships for students. Interns write short pieces, conduct research and interviews, and learn about the publishing or broadcasting business.

Good luck!

Make the most of your English classes. Pay attention to how the books and articles you read are constructed.

Take classes in journalism, creative writing, and speech.

Work on your writing and editing skills on the staff of the school newspaper or yearbook.

Build computer skills. Learn to use desktop publishing software, to handle graphics, and to write code in HTML.

Most jobs with major book publishers and magazines are in big cities like New York and Los Angeles, while jobs with newspapers and trade magazines are more widespread.

It helps to be creative, self-motivated, and organized, with a love of the written word and a broad range of interests. You should be able to express ideas clearly and to communicate with others in a sensitive and encouraging way. If you’ve ever read a magazine article and thought of a better way to organize it, you could be a natural.
