What is copy editing?

The answer for the question will be with reference to Journalism. Copy-editing which otherwise is also called sub-editing or sometimes (especially archaic) simply 'Editing' is the process of making a particular news entry or a 'copy' fit to be published in a newspaper (or other news media). Copy-editing is done firstly to correct any mistakes related to grammar, spellings, sentence structures and so forth so that it becomes fit to be published. Secondly copy-editing is needed to avoid any sort of misrepresentations such as misquotes, libel or defamation so that the news paper organization can remain legally safe. Not all the news that a reporter garners are enough or sufficient. Therefore, editing can be made use of to give more vital information, or give a fresher or interesting approach to the news. Copy-editing is thus a major part of a newspaper organization that helps better processing and functioning of ethical, credible and responsible journalism.
