Satire | EDITOR, n. A person who combines the judicial functions of Minos, Rhadamanthus and Aeacus, but is placable with an obolus; a severely virtuous censor, but so charitable withal that he tolerates the virtues of others and the vices of himself; who flings about him the splintering lightning and sturdy thunders of admonition till he resembles a bunch of firecrackers petulantly uttering his mind at the tail of a dog; then straightway murmurs a mild, melodious lay, soft as the cooing of a donkey intoning its prayer to the evening star. Master of mysteries and lord of law, high-pinnacled upon the throne of thought, his face suffused with the dim splendors of the Transfiguration, his legs intertwisted and his tongue a-cheek, the editor spills his will along the paper and cuts it off in lengths to suit. And at intervals from behind the veil of the temple is heard the voice of the foreman demanding three inches of wit and six lines of religious meditation, or bidding him turn off the wisdom and whack up some pathos. O, the Lord of Law on the Throne of Thought, A gilded impostor is he. Of shreds and patches his robes are wrought, His crown is brass, Himself an ass, And his power is fiddle-dee-dee. Prankily, crankily prating of naught, Silly old quilly old Monarch of Thought. Public opinion's camp-follower he, Thundering, blundering, plundering free. Affected, Ungracious, Suspected, Mendacious, Respected contemporaree! J.H. Bumbleshook. Source: Devil's Dictionary. |

Editor has four major senses:
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, editor comes from the Latin phrase e ditus which means "to put forward". The editor ludorum in Ancient Rome was the person who put on the games. In French, editeur means "publisher". The word came into English from French. The verb edit is a back formation from editor.
- a person responsible in some way for the final appearance of a publication;
- a film editor, a person responsible for the flow of a motion picture or television program from scene to scene
- a sound editor, a person responsible for the flow and choice of music, voice, and other sound material in a recording
- an editor (software), a software tool that can be used to input and format text.
Human editors in the print publishing industry include people who are responsible for:
The smaller the publication, the more these roles run together. In particular, the substantive editor and copy editor often overlap:
- obtaining copy or recruiting authors, such as the acquisitions editor for a publishing house
- writing or obtaining material for a section of a newspaper, for example, contributing editor, book reviews editor, travel editor
- organizing and publishing a magazine — an editor-in-chief
- organizing and managing contributions to a multi-author book, for example, a symposium editor
- producing a definitive edition of a classic author's works — a scholarly editor
- improving an author's writing so that they indeed say what they want to say, in an effective manner — substantive editor. Depending on the writer's skill, this editing can sometimes turn into ghost writing.
- correcting spelling, grammar, and matters of house style — a copy editor
- choosing the layout of the publication and communicating with the printer — a production editor
- functioning like the guy who follows the elephants in a parade — a Wikipedia editor
- fact checking can be the responsibility of either
- the copy editor who finds an inappropriate term or phrase will often suggest an improvement

A film editor splices separate takes into a coherent film. It is not a simple matter of tacking the scene inside the house on after the scene of the man walking up to the front door. In the film industry the editors play a dynamic and creative role.Source: adapted by the editor from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia under a copyleft GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) from the article "Film editor."

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | SYCOPHANT, n. One who approaches Greatness on his belly so that he may not be commanded to turn and be kicked. He is sometimes an editor. As the lean leech, its victim found, is pleased To fix itself upon a part diseased Till, its black hide distended with bad blood, It drops to die of surfeit in the mud, So the base sycophant with joy descries His neighbor's weak spot and his mouth applies, Gorges and prospers like the leech, although, Unlike that reptile, he will not let go. Gelasma, if it paid you to devote Your talent to the service of a goat, Showing by forceful logic that its beard Is more than Aaron's fit to be revered; If to the task of honoring its smell Profit had prompted you, and love as well, The world would benefit at last by you And wealthy malefactors weep anew -- Your favor for a moment's space denied And to the nobler object turned aside. Is't not enough that thrifty millionaires Who loot in freight and spoliate in fares, Or, cursed with consciences that bid them fly To safer villainies of darker dye, Forswearing robbery and fain, instead, To steal (they call it "cornering") our bread May see you groveling their boots to lick And begging for the favor of a kick? Still must you follow to the bitter end Your sycophantic disposition's trend, And in your eagerness to please the rich Hunt hungry sinners to their final ditch? In Morgan's praise you smite the sounding wire, And sing hosannas to great Havemeyher! What's Satan done that him you should eschew? He too is reeking rich -- deducting you. |
