No doubt they are clear about their understanding of what an editor does \u2014 an understanding that probably comes from their primary experience in the world of journalism and writing. But to be of any use, I need a clearer description of what they need help with, and whether I\u2019m the right kind of editor to provide that help. Do they want someone to help with story focus or even the validity of the core idea? Someone to serve as an involved but hands-off-the-keyboard coach to read and comment on drafts? An editor to wrestle complex information into a cohesive structure? A line editor who can smooth and tighten their writing without destroying their voice? An eagle-eyed copy editor to read behind them for style, syntax, grammar, accuracy?<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p>Editing is not one thing, and not all editors have the same skills. For several years, I co-taught a Poynter workshop for editors that we called \u201cFive Hats.\u201d Even five doesn\u2019t cover the full range of editing demands. In my riff above, I didn\u2019t mention production or design editors who pull together all the parts of a stunning package, or those who are deft at headlines that are both accurate and engaging. And, of course, some&nbsp; newsroom newsrooms more on administrative duties \u2014 personnel, money, organizational policy and culture \u2014 than on stories.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-heading   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Dangerous Decline in Editing Ranks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p>The latter gets us into a whole other discourse that involves the tectonic shifts in the news industry. Every time I read a story about yet another news organization gutting its editorial staff, I hunt around for what positions are on the lay-off list.

So does the public that journalism serves. The more fraught and frenzied the news, the greater the need for editors who can stand in the center of those storms without being buffeted by panic, passions or politics.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p>Seldom have modern events been as fraught and frenzied as the current chaos in Gaza. I\u2019ve followed, best I can, the news and the news about the news. The latter often focuses on biases in story selection, headlines, wording. It almost doesn\u2019t matter whether those biases are real or perceived; live long enough and you know that perception becomes reality. In the era of social media, that\u2019s more true than ever as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/11\/03\/technology\/israel-hamas-information-war.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">misinformation and disinformation become assumed truths<\/a>.

He was unflinching in his summary of the missteps the press has made (real or perceived) in its efforts to cover this terrifying showdown between Hamas and Israel. (I used the term \u201cshowdown\u201d with intention. Look it up.) But Goldberg was unapologetic in his defense of editing as an essential journalistic function \u2014 perhaps the most essential.

Beyond all of the meat-and-potatoes grammar and style stuff, editors slow the process down as a necessary part of quality control. They tell reporters that an unverified rumor is not printable without adequate verification. They tell opinion columnists that a histrionic argument that ignores contrary evidence needs to be shelved or reworked. They stand against the tide of momentary collective passion or the irrepressible ambition of individual journalists to maintain a higher standard for the institution as a whole.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p>Take special note of this point:&nbsp;<em>\u201c\u2026editors slow the process down as a necessary part of quality control.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-heading   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pause to think, and think again<\/h2>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p>Slow is not an approach that gets rewarded in the rapid-fire era of digital information, which too often, too quickly and too pervasively becomes misinformation.
