chief editors

Top newspaper managers

Chief editors are the senior editorial leaders of publications, responsible for overall content direction, editorial standards, and staff management.

The term appears in contexts where multiple publications or divisions each have their own chief editor: The chief editors of the company's magazines met quarterly.

In American English, editor in chief is more common for a single top editorial position.
