Editor-in-chief

An editor-in-chief (also called executive editor) is a publication's primary editor, having final responsibility for the operations and policies.[1][2] Additionally, the editor-in-chief is held accountable for delegating tasks to staff members as well as keeping up with the time it takes them to complete their task. The term is generally applied to newspapers, magazines, yearbooks, and television news programs.
