Hi Hi ... 
I'm an assistant editor for the past 16 years. I stay in that lane because its objective and I tend to keep up with the technology trends - so my editors can focus on storytelling. 

Basically, Assistant Editors are the mechanics that keep your  luxury vehicle running (domestic or import). But, even if you have a beater we keep that running too!


I can also edit .. I mean drive the car too. Bottom line is "gotta' get it across the finish line."
