How Many Editors Do you Need to Produce a Magazine?

[Andrew Everard]

And as you can see, all the editors are terribly, terribly busy...

Defensive. Eh?

Octopo:Defensive. Eh?

Nope, don't have a Defensive Editor. Mind you, Tom hasn't got a made-up job-title yet...

There is only one Editor - Mr Editor Melville. Handy choice of first name.
Everyone else's editorship/hood/age is qualified. At least mine involves the word 'first'.

One lowly First Tests Editor against the accumulated power of the Editor in Chief? Perhaps now is the time to do some real editing...

 

[Andrew Everard]

Anyway, to give the original poster a serious answer... like all other hi-fi magazines, we have a number of editors commensurate with our circulation.

You'd better sonny. Us out yonder are getting flippant.

So if you're all editors, who writes the magazine? He or she must be terribly overworked....

Tom. And yes, he is.

Andrew, according to Wikipedia - a consulting editor is a "non-staff, non-salaried literary editor".

Is that why you have two jobs?!

 

[Andrew Everard]

heystak:according to Wikipedia

I think you've answered your own question.

 

[Simon Lucas]

This is where I begin my long-overdue campaign to set a lock on any thread that includes the words 'according to Wikipedia'.
'Pretty accurate', 'fairly reliable'... is this what we want from a purported encyclopedia? People?
