Editor-in-chief (newspaper editor-in-chief) is the highest leader of the media, publishing houses and information companies to command the editors of major business departments or content supply departments, and is responsible for controlling the overall business development and main business direction of the company or organization. To summarize the work of editor-in-chief, we should grasp the publishing direction, be responsible for the quality of books, create a development environment, participate in publishing management, and bring a good editorial team. A newspaper can have one or two deputy editors. The deputy editor-in-chief is the assistant to the editor-in-chief, who specifically assists the editor-in-chief in charge of the macro-issues of the newspaper and guides and supervises the editing work of other members of the editorial department. Therefore, the number of deputy editors should be determined according to the work arrangement of newspapers and periodicals.

Due to the different types of newspapers, the level of their editors is also different, so we can't generalize. Newspapers directly under Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China, such as People's Daily, have vice-ministerial presidents and vice-ministerial editors (or editors-in-chief). Party newspapers in all provinces and municipalities directly under the Central Government shall have directors at the director level and deputy chief editors (or chief editors). The president of the municipal party newspaper where the provincial capital is located is the deputy department level, and the chief editor (or editor-in-chief) is the director level. Party newspapers in prefecture-level cities have directors at the level and editors at the deputy level. Party newspapers in county-level cities (some counties have not yet been established) are edited by official sections. The rest of the non-party newspapers are generally joint ventures or private enterprises, and the editors are non-career and have no fixed level!

The difference between editor-in-chief and editor-in-chief is as follows
