Job Description
Industry Type:BPO/ITES /CRM/Transcription
Functional Area:Content, Journalism
Copyeditors always serve the needs of three constituencies: * the author(s) -- the person (or people) who wrote or compiled the manuscript * the publisher -- the person or company that is paying the cost of producing the printed material * the readers -- the people for whom the material is being produced All these parties share one basic desire: an error-free publication. To that end, the copyeditor acts as the author's second pair of eyes, pointing out--and usually correcting--mechanical errors and inconsistencies; errors or infelicities of grammar, usage, and syntax; and errors or inconsistencies in content. If you like alliterative mnemonic devices, you can conceive of a copyeditor's chief concerns as comprising the '4 Cs'--clarity, coherency, consistency, and correctness--in service of the 'Cardinal C': communication.
