In an era where the speed of news delivery often challenges its accuracy, Editing Essentials: From Newsrooms to Newsfeeds is our humble contribution to reviving the craft and ethics of editing across platforms. This book brings together seasoned professionals, media educators, and practicing journalists from across India, reflecting a rich diversity of perspectives and expertise. We have curated 58 chapters across six key domains—print, photo, audio, video, digital, and academic editing—to provide a comprehensive resource for both aspiring and experienced media professionals. Structured into six thematic sections, the volume begins with foundational concepts in print editing, tools, techniques, grammar, copy editing, headline writing, ethical dilemmas, and misinformation, and progresses through in-depth explorations of photo editing, audio-visual storytelling, balancing audio levels, grading video footage mobile media tools, digital publishing, and policy communication. We believe editing is not merely a technical function, but a moral compass of journalism. By highlighting ethical considerations throughout, this volume reaffirms the editor's responsibility in a time of misinformation, visual manipulation, and clickbait culture. Editing Essentials is a textbook and a reference manual, a classroom companion and a newsroom guide. It is meant to equip readers to edit with precision, empathy, and integrity in a complex media environment.
