"News editing is tailoring news items or a news story to the required shape and size, using the right kind of expressions and symbols. A copy is edited to highlight the "news sense" in a story, and to bring uniformity of language and style in an issue of newspaper. The newsroom in a newspaper or a news agency office is the hub of the entire activity in a news organisation. The editorial desk (also known as the editorial department or copy desk or news desk) is the nerve centre of a newsroom. It is here that everyday the newspaper issues are planned and made."
