Having a good editor in any news room is vital to producing a quality newspaper. The goal of an editor is to be a fresh pair of eyes and to see things that the writer in particular may not have seen. A good editor is ethical and avoids bias at all costs. An editor is basically the test run before the final product is revealed to the public. They are the first person to read the story, besides the writer, and a good editor must know the basics to editing a story, be accurate when editing, and must be able to question a piece as to whether it is ethical or not.
