editors
Publication gatekeepers, perhaps
Editors are people who prepare written material for publication.
A book editor shapes a manuscript, suggesting revisions and corrections.
A newspaper or magazine editor selects and organizes content, or oversees a section: the sports editor.
A film or video editor assembles footage into a finished product.
In computing, an editor is software for creating or modifying files: a text editor, a photo editor.
