From the supplier: Copy editors at newspapers are gaining a new prominence as they take on the role of neutral reader's advocate. They are often isolated from the production staff which gives them the necessary distance to evaluate the quality of newspaper copy. Many times copy editors are called upon to take a stand to correct errors against pressures to get the paper out. Despite these difficulties, the job can be very rewarding for detail oriented people who take pride in quality.
