How it's used
Refers specifically to the person holding the highest editorial authority within a publication or media outlet. While it functions as a formal job title, it is frequently used in professional settings to identify the person responsible for final content decisions. It carries a sense of seniority and accountability that distinguishes it from a general editor.

Common mistake
Learners sometimes confuse this with general editors or writers. Remember that it implies a leadership role, so it is not used for someone who simply contributes articles or performs basic proofreading tasks.
