newsdesks
Where editors work
Newsdesks are the departments within news organizations that coordinate coverage and assign stories to reporters.
The term refers both to the physical area where editors work and to the editorial function itself: The story landed on newsdesks across the country.
A newsdesk decides what gets covered and who covers it.
