A wire editor (also known as telegraph editor) selects and edits national and international news items as received by telegraph or phone from other press associations. The editor corrects errors of spelling and punctuation in the received copy. The editor deletes less important information according to the overall importance of the story and amount of space available for it. Issues selected items to letters to the editor with notations of desired length of a story with predetermined space allowed for a story. The editor monitors teleprinter machines for new leads on important news received before press time of edition and reserves for copy on such items. The editor may select news of local or national or international interest and prepare the story to be forwarded to central news associati
