Role you're checking

Magazine Editor

Creator

Magazine editors own the editorial identity of a publication — commissioning writers and photographers, planning issue flat plans (cover to back-of-book), sub-editing copy to AP/Chicago Manual standards, writing cover lines that sell, and maintaining the ad-edit ratio negotiated with the publisher. In India the career sits across three distinct segments: consumer glossies (Vogue India, Harper's Bazaar India, Cosmopolitan India, Femina, Elle, GQ, Man's World), news magazines (India Today, Outlook, The Caravan, Frontline), and B2B trade publications (Auto Today, AGE Trade, Progressive Grocer India, BW Businessworld). The classic entry route is a journalism or mass-communication degree followed by sub-editor → features writer → features editor → deputy editor → editor-in-chief over 10-18 years. Condé Nast India, Hearst India, and Living Media (India Today Group) are the three biggest employer brands; Anusha Subramanian (Outlook Business), Priya Tanna and later Megha Kapoor at Vogue India, and Kabeer Ahmed at The Caravan represent different ladders within the profession.
