what is the occupation of an editor?

Answer 1

Editor is the name of the occupation. They edit a writer's work by making it grammatically correct, cutting unnecessary parts, moving things around so they make more sense, and suggesting other changes they think will improve a piece of writing.

Answer 2

In the newspaper or magazine business, the editor modifies or corrects written articles (or returns them for modification or correction), plans or assigns projects to writers and creates deadlines, often creates the headline(s), assigns or selects photography or other graphics, and works with the publisher in coordinating the editor's area of responsibility with the rest of the newspaper or magazine.
