ABSTRACT
Subeditors are the bridge between a magazine and it readers. Their responsibilities vary between magazines but they are all likely to be involved in checking facts and English grammar and punctuation, as well as using words to present stories on the page in headlines and standfirsts. They may be involved in repurposing copy for use on web and social media platforms. This chapter explains what subs do and how their work fits into the wider pattern of magazine production.
